Parker about Volnay Santenots 1er Cru 2017
The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots is a definite success, displaying attractive aromas of plums, wild berries, dried flowers and a judicious framing of creamy new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, ample and satiny, with nice depth and dimension at the core, tangy balancing acids and a pleasing sense of completeness. It's a charming Santenot that will drink well in its youth.
