Volnay-Santenots 1er Cru

Ruby color with wild strawberry jam and violet petal overtones.

Vinification	The grapes are nearly 100% destemmed, followed by cold maceration lasting 5-6 days. The grapes are crushed with great care, and the winemakers take their time with the fermentation process, keeping the temperature low and the extraction gentle. The cuvaison, or period during fermentation when the wine is in contact with the pomace, lasts 15-17 days for the Volnay.
Élevage	Matured in 25% new Nevers oak barrels on the fine lees for 18 months – no racking, fining, or filtration.
Tasting Notes	Ruby color. The bouquet has hints of wild strawberry jam with violet petal overtones. Elegant, rich, and flavorsome on the palate. Long, ethereal finish.
Food Pairings	Veal, pork, wild game (deer, venison), rich fish (salmon, tuna etc), poultry
