The 1989 Rebourgeon-Mure Volnay Santenots hails from a fascinating winery in Pommard, where winemaker David Rebourgeon is steadily building a well-deserved reputation. Historically, Volnay Santenots, though often harvested in Meursault, is celebrated for its red wines, a tradition dating back centuries. Camille Rodier, in his 1931 work, lauded Volnay Santenots as a "powerful nectar" that marries the richness of the Côte de Nuits with the characteristic finesse of Volnay, possessing remarkable personality and excellent aging potential. This 1989 vintage, now with significant age, embodies that potential, offering a glimpse into a classic Burgundy style. Expect a bouquet of red fruit like cherry and raspberry, evolving into more complex earthy and forest floor notes, with hints of violet and perfume. The palate should reveal a supple texture, with black cherry, plum, and a touch of licorice. Given its age, this wine is best enjoyed with classic pairings such as roasted duck, goose, or other game birds. It also pairs beautifully with beef, veal, and poultry. This 1989 Volnay Santenots is perfectly suited for a sophisticated dinner party or a special occasion where an aged, elegant Burgundy is truly appreciated. 【Combines richness of Côte de Nuits with finesse of Volnay】. Serving Advice for this aged wine: Older vintages like this 1989 can be delicate. Stand the bottle upright for several days before opening to allow any sediment to settle. Be prepared for a potentially fragile cork; a Durand opener or an Ah-So might be useful. Decant gently just before serving to separate the wine from any sediment, but avoid excessive aeration which can diminish delicate older aromas. Serve at a cool cellar temperature, around 16-18°C (60-64°F).
