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
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. Superb.
