Description

Volnay is often described as silky and elegant but the wines can vary in style depending on the soil and elevation of the vineyard. They have a high percentage of limestone and show classic Volnay character of perfume and finesse. Les Pitures is robust and opulent with violet, plum, earth and a subtle spiciness. Aged in neutral oak barrels.

This is also firmly reduced and unreadable today. Otherwise there is impressive mid-palate density to the stony, muscular and serious middle weight flavors that flash evident power on the decidedly firm and moderately austere finale. As is usually the case, this too will need to be left alone for at least a few years.
