Tasting notes
The 2018 Volnay Village has a surprisingly deep and broody bouquet compared to the Auxey Village. Dark berry fruit mixed with iodine and light violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins, more savory in style, yet I find more freshness and vitality in the Auxey this year.

Bursting with aromas of raspberries, cherries, spices and rose petals, the 2018 Volnay Village is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and energetic, with powdery tannins and a bright core of fruit. This is an elegant, expressive wine that's shaping up beautifully.
The 2018 Volnay Village comes from two parcels, Les Famines and Grands Champs. The very sensual bouquet features raspberry preserve, cranberry and powdered chalk aromas that feel well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins and modest weight in the mouth. Closes a little drier, with a döppelganger of a Pommard finish.
