Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Volnay Les Grands Poisets was showing a little reduction on the nose, although there appears to be plenty of ripe black cherry and bilberry fruit behind it. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. A Pommard-like Volnay with a grippy, rather assertive finish that just needs a little more flesh and charm. Not bad, though I prefer the Pommard Village at this prenatal stage.

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.
