Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Oct 23
The 2013 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru has a lovely red berry, morel and sous-bois scented nose. It's authentic old-school Burgundy in the best sense of that expression. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, a mixture of red and black fruit, a gentle grip with a saline, slightly ferrous finish and a liberal sprinkling of black pepper on the aftertaste. Not one for those seeking "bags of fruit", but...you'll soon finish a bottle.

Volnay Fine Wine

Volnay

Volnay, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for elegant, refined Pinot Noir wines with silky texture, aromatic complexity, and graceful ageing potential. These wines feature delicate flavours of red berries, like cherry and raspberry, with floral notes and subtle earth and spice. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Crus like Les Caillerets and Clos des Chênes are highly esteemed for their finesse and depth. Top producers include Domaine Michel Lafarge, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, and Domaine Hubert de Montille, all dedicated to expressing Volnay's unique terroir.
