Clos de la Chapelle Volnay Santenots Monts de Milieu 1er Cru 2022 (750ML)

91-94 JM / 91-94 BH

New in 2022. A fine and lively purple. The nose suggests an exciting quality without giving detail yet. Excellent intensity, as befits Santenots-du-Milieu, all in a vivid dark raspberry fruit, good acidity and persistent. Very promising and needs a lot more elevage. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Oct 2023. 4 Stars. –Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Tasting note: A slightly riper nose features a layered blend of various dark berries and an array of floral elements, especially violet. There is both good volume and focused power to the larger-scaled mineral-inflected flavors that conclude in a dusty, firm and robust finale. This too could use better depth but that is also just a matter of sufficient bottle aging. Very promising. Sweet Spot. Outstanding.—Allen Meadows, Burghound
