2011 Volnay 1. Cru Les Santenots Henri Boillot

All the best elements of the vintage come through in the 2011 Volnay Les Santenots. A rich, enveloping wine, the 2011 caresses the palate with superb elegance and grace. Today, the 2011 is incredibly primary, while the tannins remain firm. This is a rare 2011 that is going to need at least a few years to fully come together. 2016 - 2031

Deep red-ruby. Black raspberry, dark chocolate, game and a wild hint of leather on the nose, with a floral element emerging with air. Sweet, rich, broad and deep, boasting a velour-like, utterly mouthfilling texture that's rare for the vintage. Excellent acidity gives this firmly tannic, very long wine terrific energy and lift. Very strong Santenots.
