Château Philippe le Hardi - “In the heart of the fiefdom of Santenay“ tour
Presentation
An outstanding witness to 2000 years of wine history in Burgundy, Château Philippe le Hardi is a legendary building, owned by Philippe le Hardi (1342-1404), Duke of Burgundy.
This large Burgundy estate now has 98 hectares of vines on prestigious "terroirs" of Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise.
Nearly 100 plots, behind around fifty vintages, produce wine today in the estate's cellars, offering a remarkable diversity of wines.
Since 2004, the estate has been certified Terra Vitis and, since 2015, HVE (High Environmental Value). In 2021, the estate began its organic conversion.
Each visit to our fiefdom of Santenay and every tasting of our wines is an intense, exciting experience.
On the programme for your "In the heart of the fiefdom of Santenay" tour: lasts: between 1 hour / 1 hour 30
The visit tells you all about the thousand-year history of the Château, then the stages of winemaking and maturing, in the cellars and vat room of the 98ha estate.
You’ll end your visit with a "naturally Hardi" tasting of 5 iconic wines from the estate, including two whites and three reds and including at least 1 premier cru, from 3 of Burgundy’s wine-growing hills.
