Note di degustazione
The 2015 Volnay Santenots du Milieu is without question the most unexpressive wine in this entire tasting. Specifically, I find the aromatics a bit dispersive and not yet integrated with the rest of the wine. Even so, there is tremendous depth and concentration in the glass. Hints of smoke, leather, tobacco and intense dark fruit make an appearance from time to time, but the Santenots is never truly expressive, nor does it offer the seductiveness that is so typical of this year, at least not today.

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots du Milieu from Domaine Leroy is one of the more brooding, reserved wines in the portfolio this year, opening in the glass with notes of plums, inky dark berries and pencil shavings. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, bottomlessly deep and powerful, with immense concentration and a velvety but firm chassis of tannin that asserts itself on the chalky, authoritative finish. This will take time to realize all its potential, but at maturity this score is likely to look conservative.
