Tasting notes
The 2020 Volnay Village offers blue fruit on the nose, pure and charming, the oak here nicely integrated. The palate is smooth on the entry, fine depth, slightly peppery on the finish that might dupe you into thinking there is some whole cluster when there is none. This Pommard-like Volnay should age with style.

The 2020 Volnay Village unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet berry fruit, warm spices, peonies and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, lively and precise, with a vibrant core of fruit and chalky tannins that assert themselves on the finish, it will merit a bit of bottle age.
