2019 Buisson Charles Volnay 1er Cru 'Santenots'

From vines situated in the upper part of Les Plures that is distinctly rockier and actually more like a Caillerets than a classically rich and generous Santenots. An elegant and admirably pure nose features notes of both red and dark pinot fruit, freshly turned earth and hints of anise and oak. The supple and delicious medium-bodied flavors retain good delineation and vibrancy while exhibiting solid length on the balanced finale. This needs to develop more depth to achieve the upper end of my projected range but the underlying material appears to be present for that to occur. 90-92 Points. - Allen Meadows, The Burghound
