Jancis Robinson Jancis Robinson - 29 Nov 12
Planted in early 1960s (better than the SO4 grafts of the 1980s). Bright cherry red. Very healthy looking. Very sumptuous nose. Fresh and vivacious. Well sculpted. Shoots out of the glass. Lots of fresh fruit and acidity and light but convincing. A muscular ballet dancer. Very fresh finish. (JR)

Volnay Fine Wine

Volnay

Volnay, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for elegant, refined Pinot Noir wines with silky texture, aromatic complexity, and graceful ageing potential. These wines feature delicate flavours of red berries, like cherry and raspberry, with floral notes and subtle earth and spice. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Crus like Les Caillerets and Clos des Chênes are highly esteemed for their finesse and depth. Top producers include Domaine Michel Lafarge, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, and Domaine Hubert de Montille, all dedicated to expressing Volnay's unique terroir.
