Francois Mikulski Volnay Santenots Premier Cru Du Milieu 750ml (2020), Red Dry Wine

Tasting Characteristics

The wine produces intense aromas of red fruits-cherries, delicately smoked meats, and is pleasantly fresh in the mouth, with blackberry, pepper, liquorice, and tobacco-chocolate.

Variety Composition

Pinot Noir 100%

Vineyard

The two parcels we cultivate belong to the family. The first was planted in 1947 and the second in 1976.  Our yield does not exceed 35 hl per hectare, placing our annual production in the region of 4,000 bottles.

Vinification – Maturation

Each batch of wine is vinified in tanks for about 15-17 days, then transferred into oak barrels, where it remains for a minimum of 14 months. They use approximately 35% new barrels.  It has excellent ageing potential (10 to 15 years).

Harmony

It can be served as an accompaniment to cooked red meat or game. It is also ideal with very good quality raw milk cheeses.
