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.
