Lucien Le Moine Volnay 1er Cru “Santenots” 2016 (90 BH)
“A very spicy nose reflects notes of plum, violet and Asian-style tea. There is fine concentration to the vibrant middle weight flavors possess both good intensity and minerality as well as a polished mouth feel that contrasts somewhat with the firm, austere and slightly drying finish. This may come together but at present it is less well-balanced than the better wines from the Côte de Beaune.”

Volnay 1er Cru “Santenots”
The Santenots vineyard comprises about 56 acres. Down in Meursault, actually in the village of Meursault, Santenots is really planted on white wine soils. Sometimes you can even find the smokiness of Meursault in the wines. They are light and fruity wines, easily gliding through the palate because they don’t have firm structure.
