Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 10
Good medium red. Musky aromas of dark cherry, chocolate and graphite. Good frank Volnay with harmonious, ripe acidity giving cut and lift to the sweet red fruit flavors. Finishes with firm tannins and good energy. Showing well.

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.
