Description

From two parcels in Echards and Aussy, this Volnay gives a lot, with a powerful and expressive nose. This is tempered with violet and rose-petal notes that ensure the heady aroma is anchored. The fruit is predominantly strawberry with some cranberry notes. The wine will give pleasure early and continue to do so for years to come.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin 89-90/100

The 2022 Volnay Village has a floral bouquet with rose petals and iris infusing the brambly red fruit. Much better than the 2021. The well-balanced palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fleshy red fruit and an approachable, quite peppery finish that lingers in the mouth. Worth seeking out.

Drink 2026 - 2036

A bright mid crimson. The bouquet is quite stylish, almost floral, with the right elegance for a good village Volnay. Raspberry and fresh strawberry. An agreeably lifted finish.

About this wine

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.
