2017 Volnay, Les Lurets, 1er Cru, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

Description

This is quintessential Volnay; it comes from the higher-elevation western sector of the vineyard, which is classified as Premier Cru. The nose is beautifully perfumed. The palate offers elegant red berry fruit notes and plenty of energy; there’s also a subtle hint of creamy oak to round things out. An alluring rose petal perfume runs through the core of the wine, extending through to the finish. Drink 2021 to 2027.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
