Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 05 Jan 23
The 2021 Volnay Les Pluchots, which comes from a limestone soil that Bouley compares to the terroir of Clos des Chênes, is matured in 30% new oak. It has a pure bouquet with red cherries, wild strawberry and wilted rose petal aromas. The palate has a touch of succulence on the entry, cohesive with fine tannins and more density on the finish compared to the straight Village Cru. This is well worth seeking out.

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.
