Tasting notes
Fresh, mineral nose. Textured palate that's more texture than fruit. Lots to chew on, and a bit medicinal. (JR)

The 2017 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru is a little reduced on the nose (there is no sulfur here). The firm, bold palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins. A long-term Volnay, for sure, but difficult to assess at the moment.
The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots is one of the richest, most powerful wines in the cellar this year, exhibiting aromas of smoked meats, plums, cassis and spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, dense and chewy, with an abundance of chalky structuring tannin and an expansive finish.
