Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots
Domaine Rougeot Père et Fils
Type
Red Wine
Appellation
Volnay 1er Cru
Variety
Pinot Noir
Volnay Santenots is technically located in the village of Meursault, though vignerons discovered long ago that there is a larger demand for Volnay than Meursault Rouge, and therefore wisely arranged to label reds from their northernmost vineyards as Volnay. This is Rougeot's most structured, powerhouse of a wine that will age gracefully for decades.
