An excellent wine with the potential to be outstanding, the Meursault Santenots, from a vineyard on the Volnay side of Meursault, has an earthy, buttery nose, a fat, oily-textured mouth, and flavors of spiced apples, cassis and red currants. Its structure should allow it to age gracefully for 6 or so years. Note: This wine was tasted prior to being fined.
This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. Ratings with a range of scores in parentheses indicate the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle.
