2019 Volnay, Comte Armand

2019 Volnay, Comte Armand

A blend of two parcels, Les Famines and Les Grands Champs, in the centre of the commune. Only five barrels of this wonderful wine were made in 2019 – a drastic reduction on a normal yield. It has a grippy palate and nose bursting with red fruit aromas. Wonderful mineral freshness in the elegant tannins. This is such a brilliant example of the domaine. Don’t miss.

Tasting notes

The 2019 Volnay Village is a blend of 60% Les Grands Champs and 40% Les Famines. This underwent a 5/6-day cold maceration and was completely de-stemmed. It has more red fruit than the Auxey-Duresses with scents of raspberry coulis and crushed strawberry, very pure and perfumed, quite floral in style. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, fleshy and fresh in the mouth with a touch of piquancy towards the bright and joyful finish. This Volnay has a lot of sucrosity and will be difficult to resist in its youth.
