Maison Louis Jadot – Santenots – Volnay Premier Cru – Red – 2016:

 

The Velvet Power: Louis Jadot’s Volnay Santenots Premier Cru

The JADOT LOUIS VOLNAY SANTENOTS ROUGE represents the pinnacle of Côte de Beaune elegance. This Premier Cru, sourced from the highly-regarded ‘Santenots’ vineyard (a unique terroir of clay-limestone soils in Meursault classified for its red Volnay), showcases the masterful touch of Maison Louis Jadot with Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes – A Complex and ‘Feminine’ Profile

• Color: A rich, full crimson, hinting at depth and concentration.
• Nose: A captivating perfume of pure red berries-cherry, raspberry, and a touch of cranberry-complemented by floral notes of violet and evolving into savory layers of warm earth, baking spices, and truffle.
• Palate: Medium-bodied yet generous, offering a beautifully silky and velvety mouthfeel. The tannins are refined and supple, delivering a complex structure that is both powerful and elegant. The finish is long, crisp, and promising for cellar aging.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Often referred to as the ‘feminine’ side of Burgundy, this Volnay Santenots is a superb food wine. Serve slightly cool (60°F-64°F / 15°C-18°C) to highlight its aromatic finesse. Decanting is recommended for younger vintages.

• Recommended Dishes: Pan-Seared Duck Breast with Red Wine-Cherry Sauce, Mushroom Risotto, Beef Tenderloin, or Roasted Game Birds.
