Tasting Notes

89-91
Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jan 24
The 2022 Volnay Les Pluchots comes from half a hectare of vines and matured in 20% new oak barrels. This is a conspicuous step up from the Village Cru with greater precision and tension, more complex red berry fruit intensifying in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is ripe with slightly grainy tannins, hints of mocha tincture and dark fruit towards the finish. Not an enormous length, but this is a classy Village Cru from Pierrick Bouley.

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.
