2023 Domaine Arnaud Baillot Santenay 1er Cru "La Maladiere" Rouge

Baillot farms organically with lutte raisonnée discipline across Santenay's southernmost premier cru sites, where limestone-clay soils produce wines of mineral precision and elegant fruit. La Maladière — its name rooted in the medieval leper houses that once occupied its sunny slopes — delivers gourmet aromas of wild strawberry and raspberry, sweet spice, and a supple, delicate body with smooth tannins and a persistent finish. Understated, pure, and deeply satisfying. 

Roast duck, braised veal, or a ripe Époisses are great complements.
