Georges Glantenay Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards Pinot Noir 2021 Rated 91+WA

Wine Advocate Review
Rated 91+
The 2021 Volnay 1er Cru Brouillards is more mineral and also more austere than the demonstrative Robardelle, offering up aromas of dark berries, cherries, vine smoke and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with good depth at the core and a youthfully structured finish. Drinking Window 2027-2035.

Wine Tasting Notes
Volnay, renowned for its finesse, sap, and fragrance, has traditionally been considered the most feminine of Burgundy wines. While some of its terroirs may challenge this perception with more robust and muscular expressions, it undeniably shines among the red wines of the Cote de Beaune like a lingering kiss in the form of a lipstick imprint. The color spectrum ranges from vibrant ruby to a delicate garnet hue.

Georges Glantenay Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards Pinot Noir bouquet is characterized by notes of violet, gooseberry, cherry, and, as it matures, hints of spices, game, and cooked prune. This wine possesses an immediate charm that, combined with its slight natural precocity, allows it to fully reveal itself even in its youth. The initial taste is refreshing, while the finish exudes warmth. Drinking Volnay evokes the sensation of biting into a fresh fruit and inhaling its intoxicating aroma.
