Benoit Moreau Volnay 1Er Cru Santenots 2022

From the esteemed Santenots vineyard, one of Volnay’s most highly regarded Premier Crus, Benoît Moreau’s 2022 release captures the site’s hallmark finesse and depth. Aromas of red cherry, raspberry and rose petal unfold with gentle spice and earthy nuance. The palate is silky and composed, with fine tannins, bright acidity and a compact, mineral-driven core. A restrained approach in the cellar, including partial whole bunch and minimal oak, preserves purity and detail. Elegant and quietly structured, this Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with duck, game birds or mushroom dishes, and will reward careful cellaring over the coming decade.
