2021, Domaine Darviot-Perrin, VOLNAY 1er cru 'Santenots'Located in Les Plures with a fraction (2 ouvres) in Santenots Blanc. Fine clear crimson. One new barrel in four, none for the other reds. A touch more precision, similar depth, more raspberry and strawberry, with a longer finish, showing a little touch of oak. Good length once again. A wilder note at the back removes the possible fourth star for the time being. Tasted: October 2022. 89 93 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. Drinking Window: 2026 2032

but refined

bringing a moreish juiciness and you can scrape your tongue against the pumice stone texture

2013: An exceptional wine from an exceptional year

very Burgundian in style

black cherries and warm plums notes plus nuances of cedar chest

From southerly-exposed slopes (though the vines are orientated east)

Dark lustrous

and if it fulfills all its promise

The 40% new oak is extremely well integrated

and the wine boasts long-lasting flavours
