Tasting notes
The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots has a cohesive, strawberry and Morello cherry scented nose, tight at first but opening with aeration. The palate is lively and energetic on the entry, perhaps a suggestions of volatile acidity on the tip of the tongue, segueing into a saline, slightly tapered finish. Give this 2-3 years in bottle before reaching for the corkscrew.

(from active limestone soil, like the Pommard Rugiens and Volnay Caillerets): Medium red. Pungent aromas of cherry, rust and leather. Densely packed and sweet, with a firm spine of minerality framing the cherry and leather flavors. Finishes firmly tannic but not at all dry, with excellent lift and length. A superb showing.
