14 April 2016: The Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu boasts a firm structure, with abundance of ripe fruit (with hardly any tertiary signs), velvety textured tannin and beautifully integrated acidity, that gave the wine a very youthful impression, full of energy. Unfortunately, we could not say the same of the Meursault-Charmes. Once warmed up, the oxidative characters gave the wine a rather sluggish and heavy feel, lacking lift in the aftertaste. It could have been been a good accompaniment to cheese. The Meursault-Charmes definitely saw better days and the Volnay Santenots was simply spellbinding and should have a life of 8 - 10+ years ahead if well cellared!
