Heat Tests Burgundy's Limits

Record-breaking August temperatures tested even the oldest Pinot Noir vines, yet Santenots' east-facing slopes and limestone-rich soils provided crucial protection. The domaine's early morning harvesting preserved vital acidity through the intense heat spell. The wine displays unexpected freshness for the vintage, with concentrated dark cherry notes and Volnay's signature iron-tinged minerality.

Limestone Retains Critical Water

July's intense heat drove early veraison in this premier cru site, while the vineyard's limestone-rich soils provided essential water reserves. The sheltered mid-slope position and old vines helped buffer against August's drought conditions. The wine shows concentrated red cherry fruit and iron notes characteristic of Volnay, with the vintage's power balanced by the site's natural freshness and mineral precision.
