Tasting notes
The 2019 Santenay Le Passetemps 1er Cru veers more towards red fruit on the nose, lively and floral with rose petals and incense. Lovely transparency here. The palate is medium-bodied with a little chewiness on the entry, good density and gentle grip. Darker fruit than on the nose, this offers lovely blackberry and cranberry mixed with subtle sous-bois notes on the finish. Give this 12-18 months in bottle.

The 2019 Santenay 1er Cru Le Passetemps is lovely, bursting with aromas of ripe berries, plums, raw cocoa, licorice and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, its chassis of powdery tannins is cloaked in a wealth of rich but succulent fruit. This is a gourmand, sensual Passetemps from Jean-Marc Vincent.
