Belland Volnay 1er Santenots 2022

“Beautiful and bountiful,” writes Jasper Morris of the 2022 red Burgundies; “very good wines and plenty of them.”  William Kelley calls them “succulent, suave and charming”, “offering excellence in both colors and in a wide variety of styles.”  Roger Belland’s reds are entirely classic, with ripe modern fruit but traditional, low-alcohol textures.

Belland’s Volnay is from Santenots, among the town’s best premier crus. Burghound called it “lovely” and “outstanding” with an “agreeably fresh nose [that] reflects notes of kirsch, dark cherry, poached plum and violet,” and a palate with “rich and seductively textured full-bodied flavors.”
