Tasting Notes

89
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 09
Medium red, a bit less saturated than the Beaune. Black cherry and mint on the nose. Supple on entry, then gentle in the middle, with a medicinal reserve giving lift to the black cherry flavor. Nicely integrated acids and ripe tannins give the wine a firm yet pliant finish. Hold this for three years or enjoy it with a meal today. This has turned out nicely.

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.
