Tasting Notes

88-90
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Volnay Les Pluchots comes from a single parcel just below the Premier Crus. Good delineation on the nose here, blackberry and raspberry fruit, touches of blood orange, the chalky soils expressed well. The palate is medium-bodied with the 30% new oak neatly assimilated, gentle grip witih just a final touch of white pepper on the finish. Fine.

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.
