From the producer:
Geography : It is the Santenots du Bas, at the same level of the hill than Ronceret. The beginning of the plot has a soft slop that breaks in the middle and finish flat.
Soil and environment : The ground is deep and rich, with dark red colors due to the high iron content. The “ship heads” can be found there (big round rocks).
The vine : Blend of young vines (20 years old) located on the sides of Volnay with bigger rocks and older vines (60-70 years old) from Meursault with a clay soil.
The wine : Dense and intense from the beginning with some animal notes those other wines don’t have. Subtle on the palate, (old vines) relayed by length and strength in the mouthfeel. It is more on the Côte de Nuits than on the Côte de Beaune side.

A 5th generation winemaker in his family, Nicolas Rossignol is a perfect example of how a newer generation of vintners in Burgundy have brought tradition and knowledge from the past into the future. To better understand vinification after his studies, he worked at various wineries you may have heard of such as Louis Latour, Vieux Telegraphe, and and Chateau Cardonne, as well as Domaine Boschendal in South Africa. He returned to Burgundy in 1994 and now produces exceptionally beautiful wines in Volnay and Pommard by balancing the elegance and power of all his different vineyards.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 95
"Very ripe aromas of cassis, black berry liqueur, violet and anise precede the equally broad-shouldered flavors that also coat the palate with dry extract on the powerful, hugely long and very serious finish that is shaped by a markedly firm tannic spine. This is a buy and forget you own it wine as I would suggest not touching a bottle for at least 10 years. With that said, this is most impressive." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2019 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru was completely destemmed. It has a very floral bouquet, this one offering more rose petals than the violets that adorn the Chevret. The palate is well balanced with sweet red cherries and spices on the entry, a very fine bead of acidity and a sensual, silky-smooth finish. Excellent." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 94
"Mingling notes of plums and cassis with hints of wood smoke, spices, loamy soil and grilled meats, the 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a layered core and a charming, seamless profile. This is very promising." -Robert Parker
