Description

The Volnay Premier Cru Santenots by Domaines Faiveley is an example of Pinot Noir that reflects the high expression of this grape variety in the prestigious appellation of Volnay, in Burgundy. This wine comes from one of the most renowned areas, the Premier Cru Santenots, known for producing wines of extraordinary finesse and complexity.

On the face, Volnay Santenots shows a light and bright ruby red color, typical of Pinot Noir grown in this region. On the nose, the bouquet is an enchantment of delicate but intense aromas: notes of cherry and strawberry mix with nuances of violet and a light spiciness of cloves and cinnamon, enriched by a subtle touch of wet earth and undergrowth, which adds depth and complexity.

In the mouth, the wine is elegant and sophisticated, with a medium but well-defined structure. The tannins are fine and silky, perfectly integrated with the lively acidity that brings freshness and longevity to the sip. The flavors of fresh red fruits and earthy notes blend in a harmonious balance, culminating in a long and persistent finish, with an aftertaste reminiscent of black tea and sweet spices.

The Volnay Premier Cru Santenots is a wine that pairs wonderfully with delicate meat dishes such as duck a l'orange or stewed rabbit. It is also excellent with soft and soft cheeses, where its finesse and complexity can be fully appreciated.

This wine from Domaines Faiveley not only represents the elegance and refinement of Pinot Noir from Burgundy, but with its aging potential, it promises to develop further aromatic and flavor nuances, making it a wine of great value and pleasure for years to come .

Winery history

The estate has been part of the Faiveley family since its origins: the original holdings were established in the 19th century in Nuits‑Saint‑Georges and the family progressively acquired parcels in Burgundy’s finest climats. Over the generations the domaine expanded its holdings by adding Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards and has maintained a dual role as both a domaine producer and a négociant. Today Erwan and Eve Faiveley lead the estate; in recent years the group has also extended its geographic presence and has begun transitioning to more environmentally friendly practices.

Production philosophy

Highlighting the terroir and the identity of the individual climats, the family adopts an approach focused on fruit quality, agronomic practices increasingly aimed at sustainability, and the use of technologies and experimentation to reduce environmental impact while preserving the character and expressiveness of the wines.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards are primarily located in the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, with holdings in Chablis. It owns parcels in numerous Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites and several historic monopoles. It also holds minority interests connected to Pinot Noir production in California.
