Volnay, Contrôleé, Pinot Noir

The beginning of the 2020 Burgundy harvest marked the earliest start to picking in the last 25 years, and the warmer-than-average temperatures with a lack of precipitation reduced the yield of many crops. Thankfully, the grapes that thrived produced wines with unbelievable freshness, texture, concentration, and vibrant acidity.

Volnay, Burgundy’s renowned south-east-facing vineyards stand tall with steep, dramatic views. Most impressive in this region is the oolitic limestone. Its pink and pale-green minerals are scattered amongst the banks of metamorphic rock. Best known for their irresistible floral aroma with fresh fruit and spice on the palate, these wines can be enjoyed both young and over time.
