Ampeau, Robert 2002 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots Pre-Arrival

From Importer Fleet Street: Volnay-Santenots is among the appellation's southernmost sites and closest to Meursault. It's situated on the mid-slope section of the hillside. Michel Ampeau's grandfather acquired the first vines in the early-1900s before his father, Robert, acquired more in the 1950s. Grapes were mostly de-stemmed and fermented in cement tank with native yeast. Following fermentation, the wine was transferred to barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging for about 10 months in oak pièces (10-25% new barrels)

Beautifuly perfumed nose with spice, florals, and red berries. In a really nice spot, with nice lift and energy.
