Description
"I must confess to being absolutely smitten by this wine! Fruit for this cuvee is sourced again from two complimentary vineyards, one being “Les Serpens” lower on the slope abutting the premier cru Mitans, and the other being “En Vault” abutting the legendary Clos des Ducs at the top of the slope. There is an approximate 50% contribution from each parcel, and the result is compelling. A Volnay of true beauty, the wine is rosy, effusive, lifted and exceedingly beautiful in its aromatic volume - thank the lower vineyard for that. Through the middle of the wine we begin to feel a vertical depth and a focussing of the structure and the flavours, the finish being potent, long and mineral - ascribable to the parcel at the top of the slope. This certainly ranks as one of the most beautiful young Volnay’s I’ve tried. A true example of a wine that is ‘better than the sum of the parts’. Sustainable agriculture. 30% new barrels." - TWE
