Volnay Village, 2006

The two parcels from which Daniel crafts his Volnay are located east of the village itself and just below the line of 1er Cru parcels, Les Pluchot, planted in 1932 and Les Aussey, planted in 1985.

A seductive nose of sweet, ripe strawberry and cherry fruit liquor, freshly macerated, is first to envelop the senses. In the mouth there is a charming balance between the attractive basket of red fruits with suggestions of darker more wild aromas from the forest and delightful acidity which renders the entire package unassumingly delightful.
