Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru had a soupçon of sur-maturité on the nose, just a faint touch of tinned prune underlying the red fruit. There is a touch of warmth here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, slight confit-like finish that feels just a little smudged by the 14.6-14.7° alcohol.

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.
