While the Clos des Chênes performed as expected relative to the cask sample, the final Santenots was even better than the cask sample. Wonderfully expressive with massive amounts of spicy black fruit and seductive flavors; the wine has an enormous amount of underlying material and is incredibly complex. But it's the length that defines this wine as it simply goes on and on. It's not hard to see why Lafon believes this is one of the finest wines ever produced at the Domaine. Simply magnificent.
Wonderfully expressive with massive amounts of spicy black fruit and seductive flavors; the wine has so much material that it kept changing and evolving, revealing one fascinating nuance after another. Stylistically, this is almost a blend of the two prior wines as it has the volume of the Champans and the richness of the Clos des Chênes. Wonderfully stylish and the most complete wine here
