Tasting Notes

16.5
Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 22 Oct 20
Cask sample. Mid cherry red. Scented with dark fruit and just a touch peppery. Firmer tannins than the Savignys, a little less approachable but with a great line of freshness and should age well even though it is aromatically open. (JH)

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.
