Domaine Y. Clerget - Volnay 1er Cru 'Les Santenots' Red 2022

Wine Region: Burgundy, France  

Grape:  Pinot Noir  

Tasting Notes:  A part of this vineyard has been up-rooted, so a reduced quantity comes solely from the lower, clay-rich sector of Les Santenots. 20% whole clusters were retained for fermentation, with 20% being aged in new barrels. Colour is purple-red of medium depth, aromas are fragrant, open and fresh. The wine coats the mouth enticingly, with full fruit, gentle tannins and pungent length
