Château de la Crée - Château de la crée experience
Presentation
A historical presentation of Château de la Crée, founded in 1431 by Nicolas Rolin (Chancellor to the Duke of Burgundy) and the cultural richness of the village of Santenay (Gallo-Roman ruins, monasteries, Montagne des Trois Croix, etc.).
We then visit our 1.5-hectare vineyard in Santenay - Clos du Château, planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Observing the surrounding landscape is a great way to illustrate the classification of Burgundy appellations and the importance of “terroir”.
We’ll discuss the specifics of the Santenay appellation and Château de la Crée, along with vineyard management in general.
Then it’s time to head down into our 15th-century vaulted cellars. Here, you can enjoy four of the estate's wines during a guided, interactive tasting.
