2020 Volnay Premier Cru Santenots Thierry et Pascale Matrot, Burgund (0,75l)

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2020 Volnay Premier Cru Santenots, Thierry et Pascale Matrot

Spicier aromas include those of red cherry coulis, plum, more discreet earth and pretty floral nuances. There is fine density to the medium-bodied flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that imparts a sappy texture to the firm, serious and built-to-age finale. This will need to add depth to achieve the upper end of my projected range, but the potential appears to be present. Worth checking out. - Allen Meadows, Apr. 2022
