(91-94 points) 15% whole bunches were included. Brisk full purple, currently showing a little bit of reduction, which tightens up the finish too, but in between there is a mass of concentrated fresh red fruit with great...

The 2019 Domaine Arnaud Ente Volnay Santenots du Milieu, a Pinot Noir from the renowned Burgundy region of France, specifically the Cote de Beaune, is a wine that has garnered substantial praise from several professional reviewers. This red wine, bottled with a cork closure, boasts an alcohol content of 13.5%.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate awarded this wine a score of 93 points, highlighting its "inviting aromas of dark berries, plums, cinnamon, warm spices, blood orange, and rose petals." Reviewer WK praised its "medium to full-bodied" nature, noting that it has "a fleshy core of fruit, melting tannins, and a long, perfumed finish."

Jasper Morris from Inside Burgundy provided a similarly high score, ranging between 91 and 94 points. He noted that 15% whole bunches were included in the blend, which contributed to "a mass of concentrated fresh red fruit with great intensity and correct ripeness." He observed that the wine initially shows "a little bit of reduction, which tightens up the finish," but once it opens up, it reveals a blend of "strawberry and raspberry fruit" that is "very persistent." Morris concluded by describing the wine as "quite delicious in a balanced, sensual style."

John Gilman from View From The Cellar also rated this wine at 93 points, describing it as "a lovely example of the vintage that is very classically proportioned." Gilman noted the wine's "refined combination of red and black cherries, pomegranate, a touch of dark berry, gamebird, dark soil tones, bonfire, vanillin oak, and a lovely topnote of currant leaf." He commended its "full, focused and nicely ripe" palate, "excellent depth at the core," and "long, complex and tangy finish of impeccable balance and fine potential."

Overall, the 2019 Domaine Arnaud Ente Volnay Santenots du Milieu is a well-regarded Pinot Noir, noted for its complex aromas, balanced fruit profile, and long-lasting finish. It is a wine that has impressed reviewers for its depth, intensity, and potential for further development.
