Tasting Notes

89-91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 07
Red-ruby. Dark cherry, minerals and licorice on the nose, complemented by a smoky nuance. Sweet, spicy and rather primary, in the style of the year. Finishes with firm tannins and lingering spice.

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.
