Volnay 1er Cru “Les Santenots” 2021, Domaine Georges Joillot

Silky, perfumed Volnay from the famed premier cru “Les Santenots,” a site in Meursault that is classified as Volnay for red wines. The nose shows red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry with hints of rose, sweet spice, and subtle earth.
