Lucien Muzard et Fils Santenay Maladiere 2020

Description

This family domaine, directed by brothers Claude and Herv Muzard, dates back to the 1960’s and today numbers among the more interesting, forward-thinking addresses in the southern Cte de Beaune. Replanting with high-quality selections massale, limiting yields, working the soils and farming organically, they seek balance without rusticity in their wines, using some whole-cluster fermentation followed by maturation in barrels and foudres. Muzards wines tend toward the elegant end of the spectrum, highlighted by crunchy, earthy red fruit.
