2020 Volnay, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

Description

This is from Cros Martin and Lurets, on deeper soil towards the Meursault end of Volnay. Carel feels this wine once lacked some depth; he encouraged the grower to work the soil deeper to force the roots down. The wine is now “more Volnay than Pinot”. There is bright, rich red fruit, silky tannins and a floral lift.

Drink 2024 - 2033

Critics reviews

Neal Martin 84-86/100

The 2020 Volnay Village does not quite meld together as well as Camille Giroud’s other crus, lacks a little spark. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, quite firm in the mouth with just a little dryness on the finish.

Drink 2023 - 2029

From the village part of Lurets and Cros Martin. A luxurious rich purple. The bouquet is a little more restrained. Very concentrated and might seem a little heavy except for the finishing freshness. Just lacks a little of the Volnay elegance.
Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy (Jan 2022)
Allen Meadows 89-91/100

From the villages portions of Les Grands Champs and Les Luret.

The earthy and overtly spicy aromas of poached plum and violet contain a mentholated top note. The delicious and energetic middle-weight flavours have a relatively fine texture while delivering solid depth and persistence on the delineated finale. This is also very good for its level and worth your attention.

Drink from 2026 onward

About this wine

Volnay

Volnay

The finest and most elegant red wines of the Côte de Beaune are grown in Volnay, a village which might be twinned with Chambolle-Musigny in the Côte de Nuits, for the high active chalk content in the soil and comparatively low clay content. Whereas in earlier times Volnay was made in a particularly light, early drinking style, these days there are many producers making wines which age extremely well.
