Nathalie Richez Beauregard, Santenay Premier Cru, France 2022

Nathalie Richez is a Burgundy producer based in Chagny, who founded her own domaine in 2011 after transitioning into winemaking from outside the traditional wine family system. She works across the Côte de Beaune and Hautes-Côteswith a small estate of vineyard holdings. Her style is modern and precise focused on freshness, purity of fruit, and clear terroir expression, with sustainable vineyard work and gentle, low-intervention winemaking. The wines tend to be bright, balanced, and highly drinkable, with a clean, understated Burgundian profile.

Santenay 1er Cru “Beauregard” 2022  A refined, site driven Premier Cru from the southern Côte de Beaune, crafted by Nathalie Richez with a focus on purity and precision. The 2022 vintage shows vibrant aromatics of red cherry, wild strawberry, and violet, layered with subtle spice and a limestone driven mineral edge. The palate is supple yet structured, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a clean core of red fruit carried by a gently savory, earthy undertone. Elegant and lifted rather than heavy, it finishes long, crisp, and mineral, showing the classic tension and charm of Santenay Premier Cru.
