Robert Parker’s tasting notes on the Santenay Rouge Gravité 2020 are: The 2020 Santenay Rouge Gravité is also the best rendition of this cuvée to date. It's a bottling whose raw materials have always been impressive, but which in 2020 attains a new level of textural refinement and seamlessness as Vincent refines his winemaking and élevage. Offering up aromas of dark berry fruit mingled with rose petals, peonies and exotic spices, it's full-bodied, multidimensional and concentrated, with a layered mid-palate, beautifully ripe, powdery tannins and a long, resonant finish.”.
