Tasting notes
The 2021 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru has a very attractive, pure bouquet with shimmering red berry fruit, wilted rose petal and a touch of undergrowth that becomes increasingly floral with aeration. Impressive delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins. Sensual and supple, there are no hard edges here, and the finish seems to glide. This will be tempting young, but it has the substance to age.

The 2021 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots (Domaine Louis Jadot) has turned out very well, offering up aromas of raspberries, licorice, sweet spices and orange zest, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate framed by sweet, powdery tannins. From lieu-dit Les Plures, this parcel formerly belonged to Domaine Prieur-Brunet.
About the producer
