Information
The Santenay Croix Sorine 2020 comes from an additional purchase. It is therefore offered by Maison Henri & Gilles Buisson. The purchased grapes, however, are also certified organic according to Ecocert and additionally biodynamic according to demeter. Crois Sorine joins the 1er Cru La Maladière to the northwest above. Hand harvest, partial destemming and spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel cuve. A mixture of pigeage and remontage, i.e. underpushing and overflowing of the marc. Malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously in the barrels. Ageing takes place over ten to twelve months in a mixture of 228-, 350- and 500-litre barriques and tonneaux, of which no more than 10 % are replaced each year. The wine is tasted daily and the barrels are drawn off as Frédéric Buisson sees fit. It is fined with bentonite and filtered only very coarsely. Sulphur is only added at bottling with a maximum of 40 to 50 mg/l total sulphite.

transparent cherry red
Nose
The Santenay Croix Sorine 2020 is a wine that is still subtle and discreet on the nose. Finesse with sour cherries and sour cherries, ripe red berries and some blood orange juice is the trump card here. The wood remains discreetly in the background.
Palate
On the palate the Santenay Silky and elegant in the red fruit and fine-grained, firm and at the same time precise in the structure of tannins and acids. The emphasis here is on freshness and pure fruit, which is discreetly and quite restrainedly staged by the wood used. Even if it is a Maison the wine fits seamlessly into the portfolio of the Buissons.
