Les Heritiers Saint-Genys Santenay Blanc 2023 [JS 93]

 "Here’s an excellent argument for this underrated Burgundian village. At once generous and subtle, with its delicate orange-blossom aroma, this medium-bodied beauty builds impressively as it gracefully flows over your palate. The fine tannins and stony minerality interlock beautifully. Still a bit closed. Drinkable now but best from 2026." - James Suckling.

Les Heritiers Saint-Genys Santenay Blanc 2023 is a finely etched expression of white Burgundy from France, rooted in the Santenay sub-region. Crafted by Les Heritiers Saint-Genys, it champions precision and restraint, translating Santenay’s cooler exposures into a style prized by purists: poised, mineral and quietly authoritative rather than overtly showy.

In the glass, expect a focused aromatic profile built around citrus and orchard fruit, with subtle floral lift and an underlying chalky freshness. The palate is taut and linear, carried by bright acidity and a saline, stony finish that speaks to careful handling in the cellar and a desire to preserve definition over richness.
