Santenay is the location of the chateau ofPhilip the Bold (1342-1404),Duke of Burgundy. The chateau is open to the public and has its own wine cellars and wine tasting and sale.
Around 85% of the wine from Santenay is red wine made fromPinot noir. The wines are solid, tending more towards the rustic than the elegant, but are cheaper than the big names of the more famous Côte de Beaune villages to the north. Santenay has 124 ha of Premier Crus in its 379ha.[3]
