Domaine Glantenay, Les Santenots, Vonlay 1er Cru, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Volnay 1er Cru 2010

Ripe fruit with a hint of the herbal; an austere, muscular expression of Volnay, even given that it is Santenots. Firm in tannin and in acidity, good fruit and good length there, but a long term structure.

Tasting: Volnay 1er Cru 2010

Deep red but mature rim. Some fragrance on the nose, but a little blurred and this goes through to the palate so that the fruit lacks clarity and is a bit stewed. However there is good depth there and it might show more clearly in the future.

Tasting: Volnay 1er Cru 2010

Forward, ripe blackcurrant nose. Very intense, raw blackcurrant fruit in mouth, overextracted and unappealing. Medium tannin, very woody and a little short.
