Nicolas Rossignol, Volnay Santenots Size:12x750ml Vincent Laval opened this bottle

Vincent Laval opened this bottle à la volée

On the palate it is medium-bodied

This is also slightly prettier and with a bit more freshness to the ripe mix of both red and dark pinot fruit that is laced with hints of pungent earth and a whiff of violet

This is definitely not fashioned for early consumption and while there is excellent potential

Nicolas Rossignol, Volnay Santenots Size:12x750ml Vincent Laval opened this bottle(from Santenots Dessous). Very ripe aromas of cassis, black berry liqueur, violet and anise precede the equally broad shouldered flavors that also coat the palate with dry extract on the powerful, hugely long and very serious finish that is shaped by a markedly firm tannic spine. This is a buy and forget you own it wine as I would suggest not touching a bottle for at least 10 years. With that said, this is most impressive.
