Domaine de la Croix Senaillet
At Domaine de la Croix Senaillet the earth is not only the earth – it is the hedge and the stone wall which borders it, the seasons which follow one another, the dew which is deposited… It is history, stories, localities and different hillsides.
These are all characters brought together under a singular personality by a unique know-how. Richard and Stéphane Martin have long adhered to the principles of organic farming which they rigorously practice here at the domaine.
Today, they benefit from Ecocert certification – and this guarantees a winemaking culture that respects the environment, adheres to an ethic of responsibility, and also allows marked identity of each distinctive appellation. By rooting themselves more deeply in their unique terroirs, the vines ably express their individual origins and offer the pleasure of true authenticity in the glass.
The Martin brothers’ twenty-five hectares of Chardonnay are anchored on the slopes of the Roches de Solutré and Vergisson, and the spirit of the Domaine de la Croix Senaillet has been patiently built over the decades and vintages, and through successive family collaborations and innovations their heritage has been reconciled. The wines are aromatic and precise and combine strength and approachability. Superbly balanced and characterful wines for all occasions.
