Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
(from 67- and 45-year-old vines): Medium red. Perfumed red cherry aroma lifted by floral and white pepper high notes. Brisk and penetrating, with the bracing cranberry and mint flavors displaying a light touch and sharp definition. This very pure, youthfully taut Volnay relies more on its strong mineral-driven acidity than on its tannins for structure. Really uncanny energy for 2015.

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.
