Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 13
Bright red with ruby highlights. Musky red raspberry, mocha and underbrush on the nose; more gamey and earthy and less fruity than the Clos de la Bousse d'Or. Silky on entry, then dense and rich in the middle, showing more thickness than the Bousse d'Or but less lift. Round and fairly large-scaled but does it have enough verve for extended cellaring?

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.
