Wine

90% of wine from Santenay is red wine made from Pinot Noir. The wines are solid, tending more towards the rustic than the elegant, but are cheaper than the big names to the north. Santenay has 124ha of Premier Crus in its 379ha.cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = The Villages | work = | publisher = Bouchard Père et Fils | date = | url = http://www.bouchard-pereetfils.com/en/village.html | format = | doi = | accessdate = 2007-05-03 ]
