Volnay-Santenots Premier Cru 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
At the southern border of the Volnay appellation, Santenots is a shared terroir with Meursault. Pinot Noir here is labeled as Volnay Premier Cru while the small proportion of Chardonnay located here is considered Meursault Premier Cru. Soils are rocky with alternating bands of white and red clay.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
Santenots exhibits a unique bold structure and earthy presence with leafy underbrush aromas and notes of dark fruit. Tannins are substantial yet rounded and the framing acidity adds length.
