A parcel-selection from the Cote de Beaune’s most highly regarded village, from altogether 0.4 hectares, from vines planted in 1985. It was spontaneously fermented in whole bunches, then aged in 30% new and 70% used barrels. It’s juicy with a fragile and subtle structure, representing the feminine, floral side of Pinot Noir. It’s already open at this young age, and is a balanced wine with a fresh palate and a warm finish. It’s endlessly elegant, which is one of things Volnay is great at.
