Joseph Drouhin Volnay
$109.99
Site: south of Beaune, next to Pommard.
History & tradition: because of the purity of its air, Volnay was apparently the favourite residence of the ladies at the court of the Duke of Burgundy. The other attraction was of course the charm of its wines.
A wine of great elegance with a vivid and bright colour. When the wine is young, the aromas are reminiscent of violet and black currant. With age, the aromas take on notes of ripe or candied fruit, mushroom and mild spices. On the palate, a pleasant sensation of roundness and velvety texture. Long aftertaste, with touches of candied fruit and vanilla.
93 Points – James Suckling
Fragrant nose of thyme, licorice, currants and mulberries. Some orange peel. Very fresh acidity and bright fruit, with a medium body and fine-grained tannins. Precise and lengthy finish. Drink or hold.
