Volnay Pinot Noir

A lovely volnay, plush, generous and juicy. Cherries and some cooler purple fruit and autumnal tones. Finished is nicely structured and mineral with a refined powdered limestone texture

Full of fruit on the nose. Big big cherries. Blast of minerals. Beautiful fruit and energy. So sappy and deep but also tangy and fresh. Intense minerality but perfectly aligned with the fruit. Lovey depth and sweetness.

May 23rd, 2021Man I love this wine. Duchovney said “god hates us all”. Which may be true. But some days he loves volnay drinkers. And on this day he loves me. At least over dinner of medium rare magret with shallot truffle red wine sauce (yes I used a quarter glass of this in the sauce because I’m a baller).
In any case boo yah. This needs an hour to settle down so dont pop and pour this at this point. The first thing I want to talk about is the texture. It passes by the palate with a clear but not thick alert to its presence. Just palate coating like a spray gun. Just soaks the palate an inch deep. Perfectly pure cherry fruit at the tipping point between fresh / young and deep/ dense. Some spice. It has that palate vibrancy thing going on. Really sticks on the finish. Long. Hits the top of the mouth between gum and tooth.
MOs def a hand over land wine as this is definitely 1er cru quality. Outrageous for village volnay. Me love-ee this producer.
