Bt (750ml)

Stock Location: HK

Tasting note

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. Tasted Nov 2020.

Score: 92-95

Tasting note

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. 

Score: 91-93
