La Maladière means the hospital which was built along the ancient road some distance from Santenay where lepers were treated .

A 0.66 hectare parcel. 50 year old vines and matured 18 months in oak barrels (20% new). Soft and fine wine with notes of red berries. Elegant and complex.

Reviews

Darren Harris

Deep garnet. A rich and powerful nose with warm plum, earth, some Christmas pudding spices and a kiss of oak. On the palate we have juicy black-red fruits in what is a mouthfilling wine. The tannins are well coated by the lucsious fruit. No shortage of flavour here.

Quite rich and velvety on the nose. Mouth-filling and very positive but perhaps a little less subtle than the Beauregard. Quite a bit of fine tannin and fruit that is almost purple fruit-tasting. Elderberry?
