Tasting Notes

88-90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 16
(Mitans and Caillerets were the Lafarges' most hail-affected Volnay vineyards in 2014): Medium red. Aromas of black cherry and menthol communicate a medicinal reserve. Juicy and intense but slightly dry, with redcurrant and cinnamon flavors dominating.

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.
