FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which Santenay 1er Cru Les Gravières wines from the same vintage can be compared from two producers?

The 2022 Les Gravières wines from Élodie Roy and Bruno Colin make it possible to compare two producers from the same vineyard site and vintage. These two reds make an ideal discovery duo, with neither the color nor the year varying.

Is Lamy Hubert’s Clos des Gravières available in both colors?

Yes, the 2022 vintage is represented by the Santenay 1er Cru Blanc Clos des Gravières and the red Clos des Gravières “Vieilles Vignes.” They offer a way to explore both colors from the same estate, with the “Vieilles Vignes” designation appearing only on the red cuvée featured here.

Which bottles should I bring together for a vertical tasting of Bruno Colin’s Les Gravières?

Bruno Colin’s Les Gravières is available in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Bringing these three reds together makes it possible to compare vintages while keeping the producer and cuvée the same.

Which other vineyard site names can I explore beyond Les Gravières?

The reds featured include Caroline Morey’s La Comme 2021 and Eclectik’s Clos Rousseau 2022. When comparing them with Les Gravières, take the differences in producer and vintage into account: the tasting will not focus on the vineyard site alone.

Which producers offer the most wines in this Santenay 1er Cru category?

Lamy Hubert has seven wines, Bruno Colin four, and Caroline Morey two. Château de la Maltroye, Élodie Roy, Eclectik, and Édouard Delaunay round out the selection with one wine each.
