Jancis Robinson Jancis Robinson - 03 Dec 13
30% new oak (his maximum). Two equal parcels: planted 1938 and 2000.Dark ruby. Rich, 'chestnutty' nose with real depth and texture. Lots of matter here and a very bright take on it. Polished and lots of fruit in the middle but it is mainly the framework in evidence at the moment. Dry but not drying finish. Very true and concentrated. Very well-defined climats at this address.

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.
