Tasting Notes

87
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 10
Medium red. Very ripe, liqueur-like aromas of plum and chocolate; distinctly lower-toned than the 2008 example. Sweet, opulent flavors of cherry, redcurrant and spices show more stuffing than the Gevrey-Chambertin that preceded this wine. Finishes with good length and slightly drying tannins.

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.
