Volnay 2017

Grape Variety : Pinot Noir

Soil : Marl and limestone

Site : This vineyard is located on the commune of Volnay, famous for its great red wines among the best in the Côte de Beaune.

The Vintage 2017 : After a classic winter, spring settled down with warm temperatures but a cool weather in April slackened down the evolution of the vines. May was rainy and was followed by a warm summer with heat waves. However, a few thunderstorms episodes brought enough rain to allow the maturation of the grapes to continue. The harvest started early september with an excellent sanitary level of the grapes. Vinification : whole bunch fermentation for approximately two weeks, the wines are then aged in our XVth century cellar for a period between 14 and 18 months. Moderate use of new oak.

Tasting : Bright ruby colour. Delicate floral fragrances of peony mixed with intense aromas of red berries on a hint of vanilla. Well-balanced and complex. Beautiful fruit expression. Well-integrated tannins. Long and spicy aftertaste.

Food pairing : Roasted, grilled or marinated meat, game, classical cheeses.
