Volnay Premier Cru 2016

The nose shows aromas of rose, strawberries and raspberries along with vanilla. A refreshing acidity is present on the palate. Our Volnay Premier Cru 2016 is an elegant and balanced red wine that will express all its complexity in a few years as tertiary flavors develop.

Overlooking Pommard, Volnay spreads its vines on the steep slopes of the Hill of Chaignot. Our Premier Cru comes from a complex alliance of soils, including limestone, calcareous scree and clay. The grapes benefit from a southeasterly exposure.

Hand-harvested grapes, hand-sorted on a vibrating table. 100% de-stemmed, placed into stainless steel fermentation vats by gravity flow. Weeks-long maceration, minimal pumping-over and punching-down down. Pressing in pneumatic press. Placed in French oak.
