Domaine de la Confrerie, Santenots, Vonlay 1er Cru, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Volnay 1er Cru 2010

Fine fresh red fruit and new oak nose; good fruit within a firmly tannic frame; moderate complexity, good light length, good lesser 1er Cru in impression. Needs time.

Tasting: Volnay 1er Cru 2010

Full red, young rim. Very good black summer fruits on the nose and fine ripeness and middle sweetness on the palate. Very good oak well-blended in and overall a smooth and classy texture, with very good depth, a spicy elegance and a fine future.

Hot cassis nose with wood notes. Very rich, smooth cassis fruit, medium fruit tannins and drying wood tannins. Rich, long and hot finish, with drying wood tannins.
