Tasting notes
Offering up pretty aromas of red berries, plums, orange rind and spice, the 2017 Volnay Les Vieilles Vignes is medium-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit, melting tannins and succulent acids. It's already drinking well.

The 2017 Volnay showed beautifully, with the ripe, sexy style of the vintage balanced nicely by plenty of freshness and focus. Lots of darker strawberry and framboise notes as well as spring flowers, wood smoke, spice box, and forest floor notes emerge on the nose, and it’s medium-bodied, has a light, vibrant texture, ripe tannins, a great finish. It shows more structure with time in the glass and is a beautiful, ethereal Volnay that will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and drink brilliantly over the following decade.
