Bichot Domaine du Pavillon Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots - 2023 (750ml)
Contrary to what the wine's name might suggest, the Premier Cru "Les Santenots" is not located in Volnay, but in Meursault. Though the latter is particularly known for its great white wines, some terroirs, such as "Les Santenots" are more adapted to the Pinot Noir grape, allowing it to express all of its finesse.
Several hypotheses exist concerning the origin of this Climat's name. "Santenots" may have derived from the Latin word SENTES (brambles, thorny shrubs), or from SENTU (path) in reference to the paths that traversed the area to descend from Auxey-Duresses to the Roman roadway.
Tasting
The complex nose reveals scents of red fruit (cherry, raspberry…) combined with hints of spices and oak. On the palate, this charming wine features nice volume, fine structure with well-integrated tannins and a long, highly fragrant finish.
