Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 30 Sep 21
One cuvée that will demand patience is the 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Champans, a serious, elegantly muscular wine that displays considerable potential. Offering up aromas of cassis, wild berries, vanilla pod, sweet spices and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with real depth and mid-palate amplitude, built around rich tannins and lively acids.

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.
