Description
High-quality vine material was used for the Santenots Volnay, with small bunches, although the 50-year-old vines also had millerandage. Just five barrels of this wine were produced this year, compared to the usual eight, with 20% whole bunch and just one new barrel used in the winemaking process. This is quite serious, layered and composed; it’s always a wine with a good centre of gravity.

Critics reviews
Jasper Morris MW 92-94/100
One third whole bunch vinification. Rather more colour here, bright crimson, the whole bunches give more intensity to the bouquet, red berry alpine strawberry, and a juicy generous finish. This is really lovely in a medium intense setting and very persistent. The crop was 24 hl/ha from a vine which never gives enormously.
