Tasting Notes

87
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 03
Medium red. Fresher aromas of cherry and licorice. Supple, sweet and fruit-driven, with more life and grip than the basic Volnay. This has decent texture and depth of flavor. Tannins are firm but sweet, and there's a finishing note of leather. Can be drunk now or aged for a few years.

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.
