The 2020 Volnay Village comes from the younger vines in Santenots. Red berry fruit, hints of graphite and sous-bois unfold on the nose - fine precision here. The palate is well balanced with fine definition. This underwent a racking just before harvest to open the wine up and it is expressive, quite fleshy towards the finish with red plum and raspberry fruit. Good length. This should age well. Bottled under Diam 30. Closure: Diam 30

Aromas of cherries, sweet berries, spices and forest floor preface the 2020 Volnay Village, a medium to full-bodied, layered and attractively concentrated, vibrant wine that's derived, as usual, from younger vines in Les Santenots (planted in 2002 and 2015).

Cask sample. Deep ruby, sweet raspberry and red currants; ripe tannins and generous body. Very fine tannins. Lovely wine. (MH)
