Pale ruby, showing the classic Pinot Noir hue. The 2016 Volnay by Nicolas Rossignol sat for 90 minutes before tasting, and the nose opened beautifully with strawberries, cranberries, violets, a hint of anise, and some flinty, earthy undertones. The red fruit shines through on the front palate, with a medium weight that transitions into a relatively short middle. However, the finish compensates with savory notes of leather and tar. Bright acidity and soft tannins support the wine's overall freshness, while its supple texture ensures an elegant balance that persists through to the end. 13% No. 0039/1491
