Tasting Notes

91-94
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
Bright, dark red. Slightly high-toned but reticent aromas of black cherry, licorice mint and bitter chocolate. Dense, sweet and broad but quite backward, offering slightly high-toned flavors of black and purple fruits, minerals and dark chocolate. The wine's calcaire energy contributes to its impression of inner-mouth tension. Finishes very long, with considerable finesse of tannins and a lingering note of licorice. With its distinct small-berry character, this youthfully taut wine should enjoy a long life in bottle.

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.
