This dark, intense Volnay Premier Cru Santenots displays a seductively sumptuous nose of plums intertwined with violet, redcurrant, cherry and lightly oaky notes. Concentrated and complex, it expresses itself in many nuances, with a delicate velvetiness accompanied by an immense aromatic intensity. Full bodied, with dense, chewy tannins, this is a wine destined for ageing.

It will grace the table with roast chicken, duck breast with cranberries, wok fried vegetables with beef, or a roast or slow-casseroled game bird. More adventurous tastes will pair it with couscous or a tajine. Its intensity will be the perfect foil to strong, mature cheeses.
