With nearly 100 hectares of vineyards spread across the Côte d'Or and the Côte Chalonnaise, the house offers a wide variety of white and red wines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChâteau Philippe le Hardi is one of the largest wine estates in Burgundy. The imposing castle in Santenay dates back to the 9th century and was owned by Philippe le Hardi (Philip the Bold), Duke of Burgundy, for part of the 14th century. With his 'Ordonnance de Philippe le Hardi', he laid the foundation for single-varietal winemaking in Burgundy. \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 make 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 subclimates and soil compositions, and thus the opportunity to capture the different characters and styles of Burgundy in their wines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil mid-2021, the name of the estate was 'Château de Santenay'. 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 has been changed to 'Château Philippe le Hardi'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation take place in French oak barrels. The wine then matures for approximately 15 months, of which about 20% is in new oak barrels. This creates a beautiful balance between fresh fruit, creaminess and subtle wood tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun fact\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSantenay produces approximately 95% red wine. Only a small part of the appellation is planted with Chardonnay, making Santenay Blanc a relatively rare white Burgundy. This makes it an interesting choice for enthusiasts who want to discover something different than Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philippe le Hardi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944370966853,"sku":"P11853","price":42.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/bc36c64e6c91e6bd293a6f73c6f6c710468e6ebe.jpg?v=1787299955","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/philippe-le-hardi-santenay-blanc","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
