Tasting Notes

88-90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
Bright red. Discreet aromas of medicinal black cherry and violet. Precise and pure on the palate, with intense flavors of dark cherry, blackberry and licorice framed on the subtle, rising finish by suave tannins.

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.
