Wine description :
- Its velvety femininity goes hand in hand with great aromatic intensity.
- Bright ruby red with a clear garnet hue, its aromas sing of violets, redcurrants, cherries and, with age, spices.
- Its concentration and complexity are expressed in a delicate and nuanced way. In addition to its frankness of taste, it has a precocity that allows the Volnay appellation to open up quite early.
- Fresh on the attack and warm on the finish, it’s like biting into fruit and breathing in its flesh.
Aging potential : 5 to 10 years.
This wine naturally contains sulfites.
