Domaine Jacques Prieur Volnay Santenots Premier Cru

Classic ruby red. Subtle with delicate spicy and fruity (vanilla, cherry) and slightly mentholated notes. The palate is delicious and smooth. Tasty fruity texture evolving into spicy and menthol notes. Fine, fresh and subtle tannins. Volnay 1er Cru Santenots sits on the southern boundary of the Volnay appellation. Domaine Jacques Prieur owns approximately 1.4 acres of Volnay portion of this vineyard. This is an extremely unique vineyard as producers are able to produce both white Meursault 1er Cru or red Volnay 1er Cru from the same parcel. About the Winery: Founded in 1956, today the domaine is owned by the charming, understated Edouard Labruyère. Pristine vineyards are impeccably maintained to produce fruit of exquisite quality. The winery and domaine have been undergoing renovation since the Labruyère family purchased the domaine and today the winery has facilities equal to the best in the world. Critical Acclaim: 2017: 93 points Wine Spectator "A rich, lush style, with toasty oak framing flavors of cherry, strawberry and violet. Supple and pure, offering a clean, well-delineated finish that is balanced and shows grip. Best from 2022 through 2035. 15 cases imported." Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator
