This youthful Volnay is already drinking superbly well, showing expressive red fruit character, and is just starting to show the first stages of its evolution with a little earthiness. Winemaker Jean-Baptiste, through his love of the land his vines are planted in, seamlessly manages to transfer that into his cuvée's and his wines have exceptional purity, elegance and great intensity. We expect this bottling to reward cellaring, but it is most certainly approachable right away.
