The 2021 Burgundy vintage experienced a difficult yet classic growing season with unpredictable weather—including spring frost and hailstorms which resulted in reduced yields. Yet, with meticulous vineyard management and selective harvesting, the wines produced are characteristically expressive and capture Burgundy’s exceptionally unique terroir.
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 aromas with fresh fruit and spice on the palate, these wines can be enjoyed both young and over time.
This graceful wine reveals intricate aromas of bourbon-soaked cherry, orange rind, rose petal, sarsaparilla, and fennel. Meticulously aged in 32% new French oak, the result is a sophisticated Pinot Noir that displays vibrant acidity, gentle tannins, and a refined finish with intrinsic complexity to reward patient cellaring.
Fact of Note: Legally, Volnay is only allowed to produce red wine within the region.
THE PICTURESQUE VILLAGE OF VOLNAY, situated in the Côte de Beaune, is renowned for producing some of Burgundy’s most elegant and refined Pinot Noir. Known for its silky texture and ethereal balance, Volnay is a cherished addition to Kosta Browne’s Burgundy portfolio.
Volnay’s vineyards benefit from limestone-dominant soils and an optimal climate that encourages slow, even ripening. These conditions yield wines with a delicacy and grace that are hallmarks of the appellation. The wines are often described as floral, with notes of violets and roses, and showcase an extraordinary finesse.
