Tasting Notes

91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 18
(100% destemmed): Bright, dark red. Musky black raspberry, smoky minerals and subtle spices on the nose. Hugely rich and sweet, showing premier cru class, texture and breadth to its flavors of dark berries and violet. Darker in its fruit character than the Volnay Clos de la Cave, and with much more creamy stuffing to support its late-arriving tannins. Really saturates the entire palate on the back end. Very showy today but it would be a shame not to give this wine at least a couple years in the cellar.

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.
