Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 Dec 16
The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets was showing a little more lift of fruit compared directly with the Volnay Fremiets - ebullient, vivacious raspberry and red cherries to the fore. The palate is chewy on the entry with slightly gruff tannin, but it is surrounded by very attractive red fruit. I would just prefer a little more weight and density on the finish, although that will probably develop with time.

Relatively high-toned nose and very chewy palate. Not that graceful. (JR)

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.
