OUTSTANDING - A pure, elegant and expressive nose offers up essence of red and dark pinot fruit, spice and once again, plenty of floral nuances. The middle weight flavors are not especially dense but I very much like the texture as well as the more complex and lingering finale. This is really very pretty, and the supporting tannins are sufficient dense to see this through at least a decade of cellaring. BURGHOUND
FIVE STARS - From Les Plures with one third whole bunches. Rich deep purple, great pinot plants, which showed last year and really does again this time. A magical fresh red deep cherry fruit, really gorgeous fruit here dancing across the palate, super fine tannins and impressive length. Bravo. Very long JASPER MORRIS MW.
There are five barrels of the 2019 Volnay Santenots 1er Cru, one new, that were racked in the summer. It has a generous and typically quite opulent bouquet, the one-third whole bunch nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, good backbone and a grippy, very nicely focused finish. Bags of freshness locked up in this Santenots. Excellent. NEAL MARTIN
