2023 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots, Domaine Darviot-Perrin

It wasn’t a given that Pierre-Antonin, son of Didier Darviot and Geneviève Perrin who had created the domaine together back in 1989 would become a winemaker. He had initially forged a promising career in the foreign office, but, thankfully, he finally returned home to take over the family domaine in 2019. He immediately introduced biodynamic practices, although, for the moment, the domaine remains only organically certified. Located in “Les Plures”, at the top of the Santenots, the vines face east, on a gentle slope. The 23 vintage displays lovely red fruit aromas supported by silky tannins, in a perfect harmony!
