Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 17
Good dark red. Lovely floral lift to the aromas of kirsch and dark chocolate, with an element of smoky minerality introducing another element. Very smooth and pure in the mouth, showing more fat and refinement than the Frémiet, which seems almost chunky by comparison. Flavors of black cherry and berry liqueur are complicated by chocolate and smoky minerals. The wine's building tannins reach the front teeth and will need time in bottle to harmonize with the fruit.

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.
