This red wine, a Village classification, is made entirely from the Pinot Noir grape variety. Volnay wines typically exhibit a colour that ranges from bright ruby to a light garnet. Characteristic aromas include violet, gooseberry, and cherry, which can evolve to include spices, game, and cooked prune with age.The palate is admired for its delicacy, sap, and bouquet, offering a velvety finesse and great aromatic intensity. Tasting notes for the 2020 vintage describe heady whole-bunch aromas in the bouquet, with a palate that is rich, rounded, and plush. Generally, Volnay is a medium bodied wine known for its finesse and elegance among the red wines of the Cte de Beaune.
The wine’s velvety finesse and aromatic intensity make it an ideal partner for sophisticated poultry dishes, such as those patiently roasted and glazed.
The intensity of Volnay also allows it to pair well with distinctly flavoured cheeses, or dishes like roast lamb shoulder.
Consider feathered game, either stewed, slowly braised, or roasted, to complement the wine’s opulence and meaty texture.
A perfect match to enhance the wine’s complexity.
