Tasting notes
Revisited in bottle, the 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu opens in the glass with aromas of plums, sweet wild berries and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming palate that's suave and integrated out of the gates.

Sweet spot Outstanding. Slightly riper and markedly spicier aromas of poached plum, dark currant and a suggestion of earth enjoy a variety of floral influences and in particular violet. There is excellent volume and better mid-palate density to the focused and powerful larger-bodied flavors that conclude in a compact, serious and bult-to-age finale. This is impressive and wine that should age gracefully over the next 20 years. Strongly worth considering.
40% whole clusters. Cask sample. Mid-pale ruby. A nose of cherries and raspberries, and a restrained mouthful of them too. Refreshed by a lick of green freshness. Persistent and complete. Fresh acidity leading on. Ageable. (MH)
