Belland Santenay 1er Beauregard blanc 2022

Roger Belland’s delicious organic whites are outstanding in 2022, delivering wines packed with fruit, energy, and depth. His white Santenay 1er cru also comes from the Beauregard vineyard.  It sports a very attractive price tag for a wine that is in many respects a junior version of the Clos Pitois blanc.  Dial back the intensity, depth, and persistence just a bit from the Clos Pitois, and you have the Beauregard premier cru blanc 2022. Particularly in 2022, we think most people tasting this blind would put it on the Chassagne side of the border – think opulent, golden richness.
