Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 May 19
The 1999 Volnay 1er Cru Champans, which Guillaume d’Angerville told me that he opened the previous night, has an intense bouquet with blackberry, raspberry coulis, damp earth and spice. The palate is medium-bodied, quite firm tannin, a little rustic but it is endowed with great structure and density. It is a muscular Champans that perhaps reflects the growing season more than the terroir at the moment and personally I would be inclined to afford it more time in the cellar. Tasted at the domaine.

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.
