Red Wine from Cote De Beaune

95 points: Dark and lush, this red verges on jammy, with black cherry and black currant fruit shaded by violet and spice accents. A line of tannins marks the long finish, which shows density and structure. Best from 2020 through...

Burghound, 90 points: This is aromatically more elegant and spicier with its slightly riper array of red and dark currant and earth-scented nose. There is excellent detail and vibrancy to the more concentrated middle weight flavors that...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: (93-95) The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots was picked over two days on 3 and 4 September. It has a very powerful bouquet with black cherries, raspberry confit and sous-bois notes—all very nicely poised, despite the...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: 92+ Bright red. Classy but reticent nose hints at bitter cherry. Densely packed and seriously concentrated, showing superb stony lift to the flavors of black cherry, violet and licorice. Really wonderful 2013 energy and...
