Volnay Premier Cru, 'Santenots', Domaine Robert Ampeau et Fils, 1990

The Volnay Santenots is a superb example of this great year; a rich and harmonious wine with sweet, red and black fruits, just a little tannin and a glorious, lingering aftertaste.

The 2025 release of mature vintages straight from the cellars of Domaine Robert Ampeau gives a very rare opportunity to enjoy Premier Cru reds back to 1990, at prices that are practically at the level of recent En Primeur releases. For such venerable bottles ex-estate, the following cuvées should prove very attractive indeed. As these wines have remained unmoved in the cold cellars at Ampeau since bottling, the conditions for a very slow, undisturbed ageing are perfect

Given the nature of the wines, we are unable to offer credit for corked/out of condition bottles, but our experience with these bottles is that the condition and ex-cellar provenance is impeccable.
