Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
(from 67- and 45-year-old vines): Medium red. Perfumed red cherry aroma lifted by floral and white pepper high notes. Brisk and penetrating, with the bracing cranberry and mint flavors displaying a light touch and sharp definition. This very pure, youthfully taut Volnay relies more on its strong mineral-driven acidity than on its tannins for structure. Really uncanny energy for 2015.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 Dec 16
The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Mitans, which sees just around 20% new oak, offers very pure redcurrant and strawberry notes on the nose, feminine and pretty rather than powerful. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, plenty of strawberry and red cherry fruit here, quite solid towards the finish and probably requiring 3-5 years in bottle, because this does have great substance and should age with style. In a word: noble.
Drinking Date: 2019 - 2038

Seriously dense and haunting on the nose. Lots of tension and life in this. Savoury and serious. Wait awhile! Long and fragrant. (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.
