Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 08
Good deep red. Musky, highly aromatic nose hints at red berries, minerals, flowers and spices. Densely packed but juicy, tight and imploded today, with its fruit flavors currently dominated by structure. This, too, boasts terrific sappy energy and elegance, not to mention length, but may well require a decade of patience. Very impressive.

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.
