The 2015 Santenay 1er Cru Les Prarons, from particularly limestone soils, had a mild reduction on the nose, but that soon shook off to reveal plump raspberry coulis and Morello scents, a touch of cold stone emerging with time. The palate is very well balanced, perhaps the most harmonious of Bachelet-Monnot's red 2015s with very fine tannin, and bridled with plenty of redcurrant and cranberry fruit. It needs just a little more substance towards the finish however, I appreciate the refinement and elegance of this Santenay that has style and grace.
