Tasting notes
Immediately richer and deeper-pitched, Bouley's 2017 Volnay Vieilles Vignes unfurls in the glass with aromas of sweet cherries, berries, dark chocolate and plums. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and textural, this is a deep and seamless Volnay that has gained in dimension with élevage.

Good energy and life on the nose. Very pretty – not dramatic and quite low key – but should give lots of pleasure. (JR)
The 2017 Volnay Vieilles Vignes includes 20% whole bunches, the first time they are included, matures in one-third new oak. It comes from two parcels that tend to put thick-skinned grapes. It has a fragrant bouquet with scents of crushed stone and a touch of pressed iris petals developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, a little tartness on the midpalate with a sharp, spicy and quite penetrating finish. Excellent.
