2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots, Domaine Yvon Clerget

The wine comes principally from Les Santenots du Milieu, with some grapes also from the vineyard’s lower section. It is ageing in 20% new barrels, showing medium-deep, ruby-purple colour, with powerful aromas which are concentrated and fresh. Palate is gorgeously rich, with dense fruitiness, fine tannins and terrific length – a superb wine (for drinking 2020- 2028+).
