2017 Volnay, Les Santenots, 1er Cru, Domaine Y. Clerget, Burgundy

Description

The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots is terrific, with a ripe, medium to full-bodied, concentrated style that picks up more and more freshness and vibrancy with air. Red and black fruits, leafy herbs, liquorice, and floral notes all define the aromatics, and it has velvety tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. It’s drinking nicely today, with good complexity, yet should easily evolve for another 15 years on its balance and concentration.

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.
