2024 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots, Domaine Yvon Clerget

There is more clay in this parcel and the resulting structure is more overt and dominating currently, although the 25% whole bunch brings a refreshing balance to the wine. The 20% new oak provides some sappy velour but doesn’t inhibit the level of red fruit intensity. This is one of many lovely Santenots in this vintage which rather suggests it has flourished as a site in ’24. Drink from 2033
