"The 2017 Santenots from Monsieur Ente has turned out beautifully and this may well be even a hair better than the outstanding wine he produced here in 2016. The bouquet is deep, pure and marvelously red fruity, jumping from the glass in a blaze of cherries, raspberries, a very complex base of soil, gamebird, a touch of spice from some whole clusters and a very discreet base of cedar. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very transparent in profile, with a lovely core of fruit, tangy acids, fine-grained tannins and a very, very long, complex and vibrant finish. This is one 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.
2017 in Burgundy delivered generous yields and fresh, elegant wines; the whites are especially fine, bright and precise, while the reds are charming, supple and aromatic, drinking well relatively early.
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.
