One of the more structured cuvées in the cellar is the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots, a broad-shouldered wine that offers up aromas of ripe plums, raspberries, orange rind and warm spices. It has a medium to full-bodied and ripe but lively palate, its fleshy core of fruit framed by youthfully chewy tannins. This will require some patience, but it's promising.
William Kelley – The Wine Advocate

The 2018 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru sees around 30% new oak. It has a generous bouquet, a mixture of black and red fruit laced with pressed iris flowers and violets, certainly more flattering than the Les Brouillards at this stage. The palate is underpinned by fine tannins and crisp acidity. Full of energy, with a finish so floral that it could only come from Volnay. This comes recommended.-- Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Tasting note: A suggestion of roasted nut hangs in the background of the pear and apple scents that are liberally laced with citrus nuances. There is notably better volume to the tension-filled medium-bodied flavors that are also notably refreshing and bone-dry on the lingering finish where the only reproach is a subtle touch of warmth. I am generally not a big fan of Santenots blanc as they're often delicious but plodding though this one is really quite good. Outstanding. Allen Meadows, Burghound
