The imposing castle in Santenay dates back to the 9th century and was owned for part of the 14th century by Philippe le Hardi (Philip the Bold), Duke of Burgundy. With his ‘Ordonnance de Philippe le Hardi’, he laid the groundwork for monocépage viticulture in Burgundy, allowing only Pinot Noir to be planted for winemaking, and no longer Gamay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChâteau Philippe le Hardi owns 98 hectares of vineyards spread across the Côte d’Or and the Côte Chalonnaise. In total, they produce wine in 14 appellations, including Mercurey, Aloxe-Corton, Santenay, Pommard and Saint-Aubin, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, and Meursault. The estate's wines are loved for their elegance, finesse, and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis widespread distribution across the region provides an enormous diversity of sub-climates and soil compositions, and thus the opportunity to capture the different characters and styles of Burgundy in their wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare for the environment and the preservation of healthy vineyards have been central to the estate's philosophy for over 20 years.

Due to a change in Burgundy legislation in 2021, the name of the Santenay appellation is no longer permitted as an estate name. Therefore, the name was changed to ‘Château Philippe le Hardi’.
