Santenay, la ville d’eau au pays du vin
Ah, here we are! As I walk through the vineyards that lead me to Santenay, I think back to all those who, a little over 2000 years ago, decided to come and conquer this small portion of Gaul. The Romans who walked the land here knew that their vines needed heat? The sun's rays guided them not far from a coast further south and more golden than the gold of the temples, that of Beaune. Santenay, the closest wine-producing region to Autun, shines with the stories of its past.
