meaty and dense

Full bodied with a sense for opulence

and the specific parcel is surrounded by wild forest

boring plonk Pinot Grigio that overwhelms the market

2022 Domaine Jessiaume Santennay Blanc " Sous La Roche" Champagne Manuel Moraga is the seventh-generationA lovely, mineral driven white from a small parcel called " Sous La Roche" in the southern Cte d'Or village of Santennay. The wine comes from a half hectare parcel. Quantities are obviously limited. 2022 was marked with a riper, more plush palate than 2021 or 2024.
