A lovely clean, young, and vibrant Volnay that was consumed over 3 nights. On night 1, ripe raspberry, pomegranate and a twist of blood orange were the predominant flavours. On the following days floral and savoury notes of raspberry leaf, forest floor joined the party. Lithe, supple, juicy and pretty. It’s open now with fairly light and inviting tannins, but there is excellent and focus which suggests this will evolve nicely over the next decade.

Sealed under diam. Fairly light gold-green colour, with citrus zest, orchard fruit, vanilla, and some hazelnut. There is a nice round texture to the palate, which is balanced by a zesty, minerally acidity. Drinking well already but has the stuffing to develop well over 10 years.

Given a 3 hour decant. Really clean and refined flavours of red berries, cherry, cherry pit, and rose hip. This is rounded out with some subtle pine resin, liquorice, and nutty notes which add a lovely layer or two of complexity. Bright acidity and minerality on the palate, which is really silky, and finishes with a solid tannic grip. My first 2020 Nebbiolo, and this is just wonderful!
