This group of wines features 10 Côte de Beaune reds costing $50 or less. Like Marsannay in the north, Santenay is a commune that should not be overlooked in top vintages. They generally offer wines that are more chunky and earthy in style, but the Domaine Jessiaume bottlings offer more polish and elegance.
