Tasting Notes

91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 13
(bottled in April of 2012): Medium red. Ripe, slightly liqueur-like red berries on the nose. Superrich, fat and full; really generous in the mid-palate for village wine. Lush yet light on its feet, with intense flavors of red fruits and spices. The chewy tannins have plenty of support. This will always be good, notes Frederic Lafarge; still, I'd want to hold it until 2016.

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.
