Louis Jadot Santenay “Clos de Malte” Blanc · Côte de Beaune, Burgundy · 2021
The Moment
Some white Burgundies are about richness.
Others are about precision.
The 2021 Santenay Clos de Malte Blanc from Louis Jadot sits beautifully in the middle — bright citrus, orchard fruit, and a subtle frame of oak that brings texture without overwhelming the wine’s freshness.
It’s classic Côte de Beaune Chardonnay: elegant, mineral, and quietly complex.
What It Feels Like
Picture a slow dinner that starts with seafood and somehow ends hours later — the bottle empty, the conversation still going.
Santenay sits at the southern edge of the Côte de Beaune, where Chardonnay develops vibrant acidity, delicate stone fruit, and mineral depth thanks to limestone-rich soils.
Clos de Malte is one of Jadot’s historic vineyard sites, producing whites that are structured yet graceful.
