Robert Ampeau et Fils is one of Burgundy’s most traditional and revered domaines, famous for releasing wines only after extended aging in their own cellars. The family’s holdings in Santenots, a Premier Cru vineyard located in Meursault but classified as Volnay for red wines, produce excellent Pinot Noir. Farming and élevage are resolutely classic, with long maturation in neutral oak designed to let time influence the wine.
The 2001 vintage has reached a graceful stage of maturity. Aromas of dried cherry, red currant, and rose petal are layered with notes of leather, forest floor, and subtle spice. The palate is supple and resolved, with softened tannins, lively acidity, and a long, savory finish that reflects both the pedigree of Santenots and the benefits of aging. Fully developed yet still energetic, this is a nuanced, elegant Volnay. A rare opportunity to experience mature Premier Cru Burgundy as it was meant to be enjoyed.
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Volnay-Santenots Premier Cru, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Mature, elegant, and age-resolved
