This cuvée comes from the celebrated Volnay Santenots vineyard, a site renowned for producing Pinot Noir with exceptional refinement and structure. Following the annual Hospices de Beaune auction, the 2018 vintage was matured under the direction of Benjamin Leroux, whose meticulous approach highlights the individuality of the vineyard while preserving the purity and elegance of this renowned Premier Cru. The result is a classic expression that reflects both the legacy of the Hospices de Beaune and the remarkable character of Volnay.
