Santenay Champs Claude 2020

This wine has deliciously complex aromas of hazelnut with a sweet chetnut touch. This lovely Chardonnay develops nicely in the palate with ripe citrus fruits and smooth oaky / smoky notes with a refreshingly bright finish. The wines from Santenay often offer fantastic value.
