Volnay, 2019
Silky and seductive, this offers Volnaysien elegance and nuance as well as generosity and richness. Aromatic floral fruit glide accross the palate. The fruit is rich and ripe but not weighty and has some zip to it. Seamless flavours of cherry, sloe and kirsch flood the palate. A real charmer. This comes from two parcels of Volnay villages and is a lovely entry to the range. Producing a light, archetypal Volnay of elegance and perfumed red fruit.
critic reviews
The 2019 Volnay Village is promising, mingling aromas of cherries and dark berry fruit with hints of rose petals and warm spices. Medium-bodied, concentrated and vibrant, it's built around powdery tannins and tangy acids, concluding with a penetrating finish. It's finer-boned than its richer, more muscular 2018 counterpart.
The 2019 Volnay Village has a clean and precise bouquet, a mixture of blackberry and raspberry fruit, briary and a light marine scent. The palate is medium-bodied with a dab of sour cherry on the entry, fine acidity, lively with orange rind and a pinch of black pepper towards the harmonious finish. This is a good "solid" Volnay without all the frills.
