Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
Bright medium red. Riper and more complex than the regular village Volnay, with its cherry element complicated by wild herbs and spices on the nose and palate. Very rich and deep for village wine but boasts excellent lift and finishes with a firm tannic spine. Really excites the taste buds on the rising aftertaste.

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.
