Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 30 Sep 21
From a half-hectare parcel located just below the premiers crus and defined by calcium-rich soils, Bouley's 2019 Volnay Les Pluchots delivers aromas of plums, spices, orange rind and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with powdery tannins and lively acids, it's more reserved than the domaine's other Volnay AOC bottling.

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.
