"The 2013 Santenots from Monsieur Ente is one of the smallest cuvées in the cellar this year, as fully fifty percent of a normal crop was lost due to the hail damage in July. The wine has really turned out beautifully however, with only the quantity suffering from the hail, as the wine soars from the glass in a very red fruity aromatic constellation of cherries, strawberries, woodsmoke, coffee, gamebirds and a fine base of complex soil tones. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, young and tangy, with excellent mid-palate depth, nascent complexity and a long, suavely tannic and very soil-driven finish. A beautiful bottle of Volnay in the making."

Volnay is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with esteemed Premier Crus, producing elegant, perfumed and silky Pinot Noir reds prized for their finesse, delicacy and floral red-fruit character.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
