Vinous Neal Martin - 12 Dec 23
The 2019 Volnay Clos du Château des Ducs 1er Cru has commendable purity on the nose, displaying raspberry, warm gravel and light undergrowth scents with satisfying delineation. The palate is fresh on the entry, with fine grip, dark berry fruit and hints of marmalade and allspice, and is quite dense toward the finish that just needs more mineralité and nerve. It should drink well over the next decade. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

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.
