Meursault, Santenots, 1er Cru, 2020

Tasting Note:

Taut Meursault offering, vivid, crunchy salted lime rind fruit. Tense but without being austere, thanks to a background glow of sunny yellow fruit. There is lots of dry extract here, adding grip to the tension. On the Volnay side of Meursault, in fact, were it planted with Pinot Noir this wine would carry the Volnay name, where the soils are of marne clay and give a strong mineral identity to the wine.
