The particularity of the Domaine Jessiaume plot lies in the fact that its vines are enclosed within a Clos separated from the rest of Clos Genet. It is therefore called Clos du Clos Genet.
After sorting in the vineyard and in the winery, the grapes are de-stemmed and then directly put in tank. Cold prefermentation maceration is performed for 5 days. The spontaneous fermentation then starts. The grapes will stay in tank for roughly 3 weeks during alcoholic fermentation. The wine is then put in oak barrels by gravity (25% new oak) for 12 months. No fining is performed.
Santenay red wines show the true essence of red Burgundy at good price points and without demanding a lot of cellar time.
