A beautifully conceived premier cru blend from a 50/50 selection of Les Chanlins and Les Carelles, this wine lives up to its name by showcasing the subtle nuances of limestone terroir. The nose is more elegant, mixing notes of both red and dark pinot fruit with a lovely array of spice elements. The sleek, delicious, and energetic middle-weight flavors possess more sophisticated texture as well as a subtle bead of minerality on the balanced and lingering finish. This is lovely and understated in style, Volnay's hallmark elegance captured with precision and grace.
