Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 29 Dec 17
The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles was picked on 19 September at 13.5° natural alcohol because it is such a precocious vineyard. Also, this was not affected by the frost so there is a normal yield. It has a refined and elegant bouquet with wild strawberry and maraschino scents, the oak here nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with cranberry and raspberry preserve, spicier than the Grands Poisots with very fine tannins and impressive focus on the finish. Excellent.

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.
