The 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots mingles aromas of cherries and berries with notions of creamy spices and rose petals in a rich bouquet. Medium to full-bodied ample and concentrated it's rich and layered with lively acids and a long expansive finish. The 2020 vintage is another terrific success for Anne Morey who confidently directs this 11-hectare domaine as well as her family's Maison Morey-Blanc (also reviewed in this report). In white yields were generous delivering classically balanced wines that get my nod as the estate's finest since 2017. In red lower yields and rapid ripening had delivered more atypical results with some cuvées hitting 15% alcohol yet that was remarkably well-concealed?at least when tasting from barrel in the cellars.

Another black purple colour but this time a fresh nose. Actually very exciting super bright ripe cherry with energy just a bit toasty at the back but stretches out to a fine long finish. In the riper style but not at all bad!
