Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 06
Good deep red. Deep cherry, smoke, leather and earth on the nose. More shapely and structured than the village wine, with sweeter, more vibrant fruit. Still in a rather dry style, though, finishing with substantial tannins.

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.
