Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jan 24
The 2022 Volnay Village comes from Petit Gamay and Echards, as usual, 100% de-stemmed with 5% new oak. This deep and lush bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, sports a touch of pain d'épice coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and moderate depth. It’s fresh and quite citrus in style, with orange zest and a tang of marmalade on the finish. Give this a couple of years once in bottle.

Cask sample. Mid to light crimson. Bright with raspberry freshness on the nose. Sweeter and darker-fruited on the palate, really sweet in fruit but of course it's a dry wine. Generous in fruit, fine in tannin texture. Sweet-sour finish. Needs time to mesh. (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.
