Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 15 Jul 21
Unwinding in the glass with notes of wild berries, spices, orange rind and plums, the 2019 Volnay Les Grands Champs is medium to full-bodied, with a firmer, more youthfully austere profile than the demonstrative Retraits, framed by powdery tannins and lively acids and concluding with a saline finish. This will reward a little patience.

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.
