The "Climats" experience can be private for a group of 4 and more. It begins at the Château with a brief history of Santenay and the Château de la Crée, founded in 1431 by Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor to Philippe le Bon, Duke of Burgundy.

Following this captivating story, we head to our vineyard, Santenay - clos du Château. The vineyard is planted with both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and spans a total of 1.5 hectare, or 3.7 acres. With fabulous scenery as a backdrop, the conversation turns to the Burgundy classification and the influence of the terroir looking to the geology, geography, and aspect.

The topic then changes to the Santenay appellation, Château de la Crée vineyards and,
of course, winegrowing.

The Climats Experience ends in our stunning 15th-century vaulted cellar, where we taste a satisfying selection of six Château de la Crée wines, led by one of our knowledgeable experts.
