The Santenay Clos de la Confrerie and Santenay La Maladiere are both very good examples of Santenay, with sweet, ripe, strawberry/black-cherry fruit, and excellent, deep ruby colors. There is some toasty new oak, but the wines' personalities are dominated by their rich, ripe berry fruit and velvety textures. These are delicious 1993 red Burgundies for drinking over the next decade.
Vincent Girardin, another member of a family with multiple cellars and labels, has clearly succeeded in taming the beastly tannin of the 1993 vintage. All of his wines exhibit excellent sweet, ripe fruit, supple, velvety-textured personalities, fine concentration, good vibrancy, and enough acidity and tannin to provide delineation and structure. Amazingly, Girardin was able to achieve far more ripeness and lower acidity than many of his peers.
