The 2014 vintage for this Volnay 1er Cru is described as stylish and well-crafted, with excellent aging potential. It's noted for being a more elegant expression than typically seen from Lafon's Santenots. The 2014 Burgundy vintage was generally considered good. This wine presents a sensual bouquet with abundant dark cherry and blueberry fruit, possibly with a subtle malic undertone. The palate is medium-bodied, offering sappy red berry fruit, a fine line of acidity, and a fresh, tensile character with impressive minerality. Decanter describes an opulent cherry and raspberry nose, generously fruity, leading to a rich, rounded, full-bodied, and very concentrated palate where the tannins are majestic yet not extracted. It's a harmonious and persuasive wine with a thrilling core of sweet fruit. Other notes include fresh roses, violets, cherry and strawberry confit, damp mossy earth, cinnamon, and ground coffee, suggesting complexity even in its youth. 【Stylish, well-crafted Santenots that should age well】 This wine was found to be outstanding with Thanksgiving dinner and pairs well with boudin blanc and girolles persillade. Generally, Volnay wines are excellent with roasted or grilled poultry, game birds, and lighter red meats. This wine is suitable for special dinners and celebrations, or for those looking to cellar a wine that promises to improve significantly over time.
