Awesome aromas of violets, fresh red cherries, and spices can be found in the nose of the 2002 Volnay Santenots du Milieu. This ruby-colored wine is medium-bodied, broad, and displays plums as well as black cherries in its structured, somewhat tannic personality. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2012.
Note: This estate’s 2002s are not yet released. The above estimate is based on the prices of the 2001s, taking into account that the dollar has significantly dropped.
