The 2017 Santenay La Maladière 1er Cru is the maiden release from the acquisition of Prieur-Brunt by Jadot in July 2017. It has an attractive bouquet of red cherry, raspberry coulis and light orange blossom scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity and probably the best grip of three Santenays tasted from Jadot. It feels a little compact and conservative toward the finish, but it should offer four to six years of drinking pleasure, possibly more.
