The 2010 Volnay Santenots shows lovely richness and depth in a medium-bodied style. Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, spices and licorice all flesh out in the glass. This is a vibrant, floral Volnay best suited for drinking over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
Remi Jobard describes the 2010s as having the richness of the 2009s and the elegance of the 2008s. I suppose that’s as good a description as any. Jobard began bringing in his 2010s on September 21. Yields are down a whopping 40-50%, but in exchange Jobard has a superb set of wines that are rich yet not at all heavy. It is a vintage in which the personality of each of these sites comes through in spades. As I mentioned last year, Jobard is among the small but growing number of white Burgundy producers experimenting with foudres, which seems to work especially well with his wines. The Narvaux, Genevrieres, Poruzots are partly aged in foudre, while the Charmes is done entirely in foudre.
