WE LOVE IT BECAUSE:
This 1er cru offering from Volnay is richer than your typical perfumed Volnay. Nicholas describes this like Volnay with Cote de Nuit DNA. He owns two distinct plots in the Santenots vineyard, one with 20 year old vines with big rocky soils and the other 60 year old vines with clay soils bordering Meursault The soils are rich in iron, making them a deep red. The 2018 vintage is exceptionally rich and overtly powerful with large scaled flavours which possess an excellent density. Expect notes of red currant, black cherry, spice, earth and something wild. Lay down this muscular, firm wine for at least another decade. Can't wait that long, decant it in the morning and enjoy it with a rich ribeye in the evening.
