2019 Volnay Vieilles Vignes le Village Rouge

$95/bottle under the original label

We’ve secured an elegant Village-level Volnay that garnered 93 points under its original label from Wine Enthusiast. 2019 Éleveur Volnay Vieilles Vignes le Village Rouge is an ethereal 100% Pinot Noir crafted from 60-year-old vines. Rarely available stateside under the source label, our connections make it possible for you to acquire this identical wine for an incredibly low price!

Opening with mushrooms, hibiscus, cinnamon, and cherries haloed by violets on the nose, there’s plenty of both intensity and elegance on display. The entry cascades onto the palate with ripely-fruited red berries, fresh-turned potting soil, and cloves framed by balanced acidity and small, grippy tannins. A clean, dry, medium-length finish is uplifted with red fruits and florals wrapped in barrel-influenced, delicate vanilla. Though approachable now with a decant, this beauty will be singing through a decade+ drinking window.
