The 2022 Benjamin Leroux Volnay 1er Cru Santenots is a stunning representation of the classic Burgundy style. The wine boasts a beautiful ruby red color with hints of violet, inviting you to indulge in its complex bouquet of aromas. On the nose, notes of ripe cherries, blackberries, and subtle hints of earth and spice are delicately intertwined. On the palate, this wine is elegant and well-structured, with velvety tannins and a perfect balance between fruit and acidity. As the wine opens up, flavors of dark berries, plums, and a touch of vanilla emerge, leading to a long, lingering finish. Benjamin Leroux has truly crafted a masterpiece with this Premier Cru Santenots, showcasing the best of Burgundy's terroir. This wine is ready to be enjoyed now, but also has excellent aging potential. A must-try for any Burgundy enthusiast.

Tangy cranberries and mulberries blend with Christmas spice. Long and vinous with sweet tannins and kicking acidity, this has a silky texture and plentiful fruit concentration to age well in the cellar.

Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy
Rather more colour here, bright crimson, the whole bunches give more intensity to the bouquet, red berry alpine strawberry, and a juicy generous finish. This is really lovely in a medium intense setting and very persistent. The crop was 24 hl/ha from a vine which never gives enormously. Superb.

Neal Martin - Vinous
Containing just over one-third whole bunches, the 2022 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru was the first vineyard to be picked. The focused nose offers fine mineralité and tension. The palate is well defined with dark berry fruit. Slightly grainy in texture with good backbone and a slightly confit-like finish, this is an excellent Santenots.
