Say goodbye to Ch\u00e2teau de Santenay and hello to Ch\u00e2teau Philippe le Hardi…
\nA new style of wine, a new coat of arms, new labels, conversion to organic farming… The change in the Domaine\u2019s name reflects the start of a new chapter in its history.<\/p>\n
Managed by the Cr\u00e9dit Agricole since 1997, the ch\u00e2teau, crowned with its glazed tiles, has 98 hectares of vines, spanning north to south over 60 kilometres, with 35 climats, 17 appellations and 55 wines produced on the three C\u00f4tes (Nuits, Beaune, Chalonnaise). Rechristened a few months ago because its name risked causing confusion, it now pays tribute to one of its illustrious owners, Philippe le Hardi (Philip the Bold), Duke of Burgundy in the 14th century. The son of King Jean II (John the Good), Philippe was known as \u201cthe Bold\u201d because of his courage during the Hundred Years’ War. We owe him the famous ordinance of 1395 banning the use of “disloyal Gamay” in Burgundy\u2019s red wines in favour of Pinot Noir. A superb team A story that deserves to be put in the spotlight. Sleeping Beauty awakened by a superb team! “We carried out extensive historical research in the departmental archives to find out if it was legitimate to use the name of Philippe le Hardi,” explains Jean-Philippe Archambaud, the Domaine\u2019s director. \u201cEspecially since the two brands, Ch\u00e2teau de Santenay and Ch\u00e2teau Philippe le Hardi, had coexisted for fifty years.\u201d Something that caused this devotee of varietal wines to raise his brows when he arrived in early 2019. Nor did this situation suit Anne Le Naour, executive director of the Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Grands Crus wine estates (Ch\u00e2teaux Grand Puy Ducasse, Meyney, Clos Saint-Vincent). Furthermore, the ch\u00e2teau was named after an appellation, but currently owns very few plots of Santenay. This created another inconsistency on labels, for example with the mention of both “Clos de Vougeot” and “Ch\u00e2teau de Santenay”. Consumers could easily become confused, no longer sure which wine they were drinking… All in all, there were many reasons to make the change. The movement accelerated in March 2019 with the acquisition of 8 hectares in the C\u00f4tes de Nuits (a second plot of Clos de Vougeot, Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru, and Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru).<\/p>\n
