  PnP. ABV 13.5%. Subtle nose, more dark soils notes than flower notes. Seems to be in more advanced stage than ‘17 tasted recently. Round, smooth, and silky mouthfeel, very Volnay. Very fine tannins, hardly noticeable despite its youth. Riper than ‘17. Good density and length for a 1er Cru. Quality wise fairly similar to ‘17 vintage just not as open. Another good showing, clearly underrated and under-priced.

  This pours very light ruby in the glass. The nose is expressive, finessed and complex. Aromas are of ginger, grapefruit zest, raspberry leaf, cranberry, bright red cherry, leafy undergrowth, wet tilled soil, and twigs. The palate is very elegant entering on bright red fruit, with medium minus tannin and medium plus leafy and red fruited acid. The finish lingers nicely on grapefruit zest and leafy red fruit. Very classical, very volnay. Love this.

  Dégustation pèlerinage annuel-Juillet 2021 (Retaurant AVV Bistro La Fringale de Granby) (Retaurant AVV Bistro La Fringale de Granby): Bu au resto AVV Bistro La Fringale de Granby.
  Super expressif et fruité, c`est gourmand.
  Je misais sur un pinot jeune des USA!
  Le nez embaume les fruits rouges et les épices.
  En bouche, c`est substantiel et assez vif.
  Cerise, noyau, framboises et poivre.
  Les tannins sont assez présents, ça lui donne
  une belle colonne, il vieillira bien.
  La finale assez longue nous laisse sur des relents de fumées.
  Excellent.

  There’s some dark fruit and a hint of mocha at the start but gains more red fruit and a tart character with air. Nice wine.
