critic reviews
The 2021 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru has a simple nose with brambly red berry fruit. It's a little rustic but clean and fresh with fine delineation. An unprepossessing bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with suppler, more pliant tannins than Henri Boillot's Volnay Chevrets. Well balanced with lightly spiced red berry fruit. Not a powerful Volnay, yet focused with a dash of white pepper on the finish. This is a lovely Volnay to enjoy over the next 15 years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
Exhibiting aromas of raspberries, vine smoke, warm spices, wintergreen and orange zest, the 2021 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with an enveloping core of cool, vibrant fruit and a rich, sensual profile. Transcending stereotypes of the vintage, it's a beautiful bottling in the making.
