Score 91-93/100 · William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Feb 2020

More reserved than the exuberant Volnay Pitures from Maison Morey-Blanc, the domaine's 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots unwinds to reveal notes of cherries, plums, burning embers, sweet soil tones and spices. Medium to full-bodied, it's muscular and nicely concentrated, with powdery tannins and chalky grip on the finish.

The 2018 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru, matured with around 50% new oak, has a lovely, lilting bouquet of blueberry, raspberry and light cassis fruit, floral tones developing with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple but quite firm, Pommard-like tannins, and blessed with disarming purity of fruit and just the right amount of spiciness toward the finish to beckon you back for another sip. This will be wonderful once in bottle.
