Château de la Crée - the “CLIMATS“ experience
Presentation
A historical presentation of Château de la Crée, founded in 1431 by Nicolas Rolin (Chancellor to the Duke of Burgundy), and the rich cultural heritage of the village of Santenay (Gallo-Roman remains, monasteries, the Montagne des Trois Croix, etc.).
We then visit our 1.5-hectare vineyard in Santenay - Clos du Château, planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Together, we discuss the Burgundy classification system and the importance of “terroir” through reading the landscape.
We explore the specific characteristics of the Santenay appellation and Château de la Crée, as well as vineyard management practices.
Then, we head down into our 15th-century vaulted cellars, where we discuss the specifics of winemaking and visualise the “terroir” through our soil reconstructions. You’ll discover the true richness of Burgundy.
Then, in the privacy of our cellar or outside in the château grounds, you can enjoy 6 wines from the estate during a guided, interactive tasting.
