Score 93/100 · Drink 2020-2025, Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2020
A mix of dark ripe fruits, cherries, strawberry, plum, rich brown spice, moist soil and savory overtones give the 2001 Volnay Santenots 1er Cru remarkable aromatic depth. On the palate, the 2001 is soft and enveloping, with a nervy citrus/mineral edge driving the dark fruit. The finish is long, with residual acids and inner floral tones that linger.
