Volnay, Mazilly, Burgundy, France 2018

Tasting Notes

Volnay is often presented as the most feminine red wine from Burgundy.Bright ruby, light garnet, its aromas sing of violet, currant, cherry and with age spices, game and cooked prune.Its concentration and complexity are expressed in a delicate and nuanced way.To the frankness of the taste is added a precocity which allows it to open up quite early.Fresh on the attack, warm on the finish, you think you are biting into the fruit and breathing in its flesh.
