This comes from the Santenots Blancs part of the vineyard. Pierrick’s great grandfather did indeed have white grapes here, but his grandfather switched to red which Pierrick thinks is the better choice for this soil. Dense red black colour with an equally intense red fruit bouquet. Thick texture, good acidity, persistence is there too. This may not offer the nobility of the best of Santenots-du-Milieu but this is a full and powerful Volnay Santenots nonetheless.
Bill Nanson "The Burgundy Report"
From Santenots Blanc - ‘When grandfather bought it, it was indeed planted to white but eventually he decided to change’More colour again. Much more high tones and aromatic intensity. Wide, structural, fine grains of tannin but virtually no dryness. Layers of mobile flavour here. This is excellent Santenots! A little more padded than the fresh sweeping lines of other wines.
The Fine Wine Review
This wine shows finesse, especially for Santenots. It features dark fruits, freshness, and a touch of pleasing bitterness at the back fo the mouth.
