Tasting Notes

89
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 08
Bright, deep red-ruby. Subdued but pure aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, minerals and mint. Suave on entry, then complex but reticent in the middle palate, with a restrained sweetness and good lift. I find this quite closed today. The substantial, chocolatey tannins arrive late, with a stony quality extending the finish.

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.
