Volnay combines breeding with nobility, delicacy, elegance and feminity. bright ruby, light garnet, its aromas of violet, redcurrant, cherry and with age spices, and cooked prune. Fresh on the palate, warm on the finish, one believes to bite into the fruit and breathe its flesh.
It goes well with roasted or stewed game birds. Couscous or tagine with meat or poultry or both. Cheeses with strong flavors.

The 2016 Volnay Vieilles Vignes is another impressive 2016 barrel sample. Notes of black cherries, blackberries, smoked earth, underbrush, and earth all give way to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, structured wine that has ripe, present tannin, loads of fruit and depth, and a big finish. This is a rich, concentrated 2016 that has beautiful purity and finesse, as well as power.
