Tasting Notes

87-89
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Volnay Les Echards replaces the Pauxbois and contains the highest alcohol of the range, at just under 14%. The ripe, opulent bouquet of black cherries and bilberry aromas is forward and generous but needs more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, and quite dense and sinewy, leading into a grainy-textured finish. Fine.

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.
