Tasting Notes

90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 05
Medium red. Quite subdued on the nose. Silky and moderately sweet in the mouth, with reticent flavors of strawberry, spices and earth; showed a redcurrant perfume as it opened in the glass. Finishes uncompromisingly dry and backward, but the tannins are sweet.

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.
