Burghound, April 2014, Score: 88-91
Here too the nose is both restrained and cool though the aromatic profile is slightly higher-toned though there is just enough earth character to remark upon. There is good volume and punch to the refined middle weight flavors that also exude a discreet minerality on the dusty and mildly austere finish that possesses a good balance. Drink 2020+

Region
Volnay
A red wine appellation only, wines from Volnay might be considered the most revered of southern Burgundy. They have been celebrated since the 18th century for their delicacy. But they are not fruit forward like those of Beaune or Chorey Lès Beaune nor have the brooding structure of Pommard.Instead, they have superb linearity, focus and poise while sheathed in velvety tannin. This slightly reticent personality comes out even more with a bit of age, though some can be approached very young. There are no grand cru vineyards in Volnay, but there are some excellent premier cru examples including Volnay Les Champans and Volnay Les Caillerets. Chardonnay grown in the shared Santenots vineyard must be labelled as Meursault.
