Winemaking in a stainless-steel vat, natural alcoholic fermentation with regular cap-punching and pumping-over. Vatting time: 18 days. Pressing done in a pneumatic press, then wine moved to oak barrels (100%) by gravity, with 30% new French barrels. Maturation in barrels for 17 months with malo-lactic fermentation, 2 months in vats
35 year old vines. With a vivid ruby hue and purple tints, this wine reveals aromas mingling scents of violet, blackberry, cherry and spicy hints. It is complex, delicate and elegant on the palate. Very fresh and stylish, this wine is warm on the finish and reveals a flavour of ripe fruit. The feminine style of this Volnay goes hand in hand with tremendously powerful aromas, which will enable it to be savoured when young, but also after a few years of patient aging.
