WE LOVE IT BECAUSE:
This 1er cru offering from Volnay is richer than your typical perfumed Volnay. Nicolas 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. 2019 was a hot and dry vintage in Burgundy, meaning this vintage is firm and powerful. You can expect very ripe aromas of cassis, blackberry liqueur, violet and anise. There is a very fine backbone of acidity throughout the wine but it is marked with a smooth, rich finish. Buy this wine and forget about it for 10 years.
