THE EXPERIENCE :

The Legacy Private Experience begins at the Château with a brief history of Santenay and Château de la Crée founded in 1431 by Nicolas Rolin, Chancelor to Phillipe le Bon, Duke of Burgundy. Following our captivating discussion, we head to our Monopoly vineyard, Santenay - Clos du Château. The vineyard is planted in both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a total of 1.5 hectares, or 3.7 acres.With a fabulous scenery as a backdrop the conversation steers to Burgundy classification, the influence of terroir with a geological focus, geography, and aspect. Our topic dives into the appellation of Santenay, Château de la Crée vineyards, and of course, viticulture.Finally, the Legacy Experience takes us to our stunning 15th century vaulted cellar, where we savor and enjoy a lovely wine tasting of a selection of six Château de la Crée wines, led by one of our insightful experts.
