The 2022 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru another vineyard suffering some degeneration includes 20% whole bunches and is matured in 10% new oak. The very floral bouquet offers wilted violets and incense infusing the mainly dark berry fruit a touch of loam emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit fresh and tensile. There?s a touch of piquancy towards the finish conveying more energy than the Clos des Angles by comparison. Excellent. (Drink between 2026-2045)
Located in Les Santenots Dessous the vineyard is suffering from some 161/49 rootstock problems so the 2022 crop is just 7 barrels instead of a possible 18. Two new barrels and 20% whole bunches. A pleasing medium density colour with some strawberry notes in the rather charming bouquet. Excellent energy very polished fine long finish. Quite special.
vThis is also aromatically cool airy and elegant though the ripe red and dark currant aromas are less floral-suf
