Description

This has the typical brilliant purple colour of the vintage with an intensity of cherry and raspberry fruit, and has kept its freshness superbly. This site was picked early because the clay soil naturally delivers excellent weight. Drink 2026-2034.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 89-91/100
The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots showed a subtle patisserie scent on the nose, a hint of baking powder behind the veneer of raspberry coulis and strawberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly grainy texture, a mixture of red and black fruit leading to a sappy, quite tensile finish. Not a bad Santenots by any means, though a couple of paces behind the rest of the pack.Neil Martin - 30/12/2016

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
