Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy
The white Santenay Clos de Malte is a rich and structured wine. It is elegant and
fresh, giving off fruity aromas, is lemon-scented and slightly woody.
The wine is very elegant and compliments scallop pieces simply fried and
scattered with mushrooms.

It will age well for 5 to 10 years in good conditions of conservation and
