Tasting Notes

93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Oct 19
Dark red with a healthy rim. Inviting scents of black cherry, dark plum and dried flowers convey a musky, faintly carnal quality (this wine was closed for a long time, noted Guillaume d'Angerville). Quite silky and sweet in the mouth, with very rich cherry, raspberry and spice flavors nicely framed by harmonious acidity. Finishes with a powerful dusting of building tannins and lovely rising length. This wine was quite unforthcoming in the years following bottling, with its tannins dominant, but today it's a very pleasant surprise. At the outset I preferred the '96, but not today. (13.15% alcohol; September 30 harvest; 28 h/h; 3.36 pH)

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.
