Description
Volnay Santenots Premier Cru is a powerhouse wrapped in silk—rich, structured, and beautifully refined. Technically within Meursault but reserved for reds, this vineyard produces some of Volnay’s most serious, age-worthy Pinot Noir. Expect layers of ripe red and black fruit, floral elegance, and a deep mineral core. The tannins are polished yet firm, giving it the structure to age gracefully while still offering incredible charm in its youth. If you love Volnay’s finesse but want a bit more depth and power, Santenots is an absolute must—a benchmark Premier Cru that overdelivers every time.
“A ripe and agreeably fresh nose reflects notes of kirsch, dark cherry, poached plum and violet. The rich and seductively textured full-bodied flavors possess fine mid-palate volume while exuding evident minerality on the chalky and reasonably well-balanced finale as the only nit is a tiny hint of warmth. Lovely.”. 91 points, Outstanding, Allen Meadows; Burghound.
