Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
At a little over 2 hectares, Nicolas Rossignol owns the largest portion of Les Santenots, a Premier Cru site that in fact lies wholly within Meursault. Here, the vineyards sit on large rocks of limestone with pockets of red, iron-rich soil, which produce wines that have the textural depth of Pommard, but without the boisterous tannins. Certainly, this is a ruminative, complex wine, yet its charming black berry profile, delicate spice, and juicy fruit-flecked tannins keep things utterly joyful.
Region
Volnay
A red wine appellation only, wines from Volnay might be considered the most revered of southern Burgundy. They have been celebrated since the 18th century for their delicacy. But they are not fruit forward like those of Beaune or Chorey Lès Beaune nor have the brooding structure of Pommard.Instead, they have superb linearity, focus and poise while sheathed in velvety tannin. This slightly reticent personality comes out even more with a bit of age, though some can be approached very young. There are no grand cru vineyards in Volnay, but there are some excellent premier cru examples including Volnay Les Champans and Volnay Les Caillerets. Chardonnay grown in the shared Santenots vineyard must be labelled as Meursault.
