Lucien Muzard Volnay 1er Cru Santenots 2010

We had this wine during the mainly 1er Cru Burgundy dinner recently and I had blogged about this organic/biodynamic estate which is one of the top wineries in Santenay. As had been noted in the previous blog, this wine is from rented vines which farmed and not from Muzard's own vineyard holdings. This however did not seem to have made any difference to the finished product as this is indeed a fine wine. It was a nice limpid ruby with a sweet berry nose. The sweet berry notes carried through to the palate where it was nicely accompanied by a good smattering of acid, that went on to become a solid backbone, seasoned by a hint of tannins.
