DOMAINE POTINET-AMPEAU VOLNAY 2015 6-PACK
AVAILABLE TO SHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2024
Volnay.
We like finesse in Burgundy.
We like to explore aromas.
For us, that's Volnay.
Complex. Subtle. Delicate.
Cerebral.
While there are no Grand Cru, you could write a thesis on Volnay's soil. The premier crus are the finest in the Côte de Beaune, the village appellations lie in the mouth of the same river valley,
above and below the premier cru.
You’ll often hear these wines described as ‘feminine’ by un-PC old-timers. Certainly they are soft, complex, delicate even. But they are intense too. If anything, they share a structure and character with Chambolle-Musigny to the north.
6 Bottles of the Domaine Potinet-Ampeau Volnay 2015
Volnay is all about elegance. Cherry and raspberry notes intertwined with delicate violet and rose aromas. Undertones of fresh earth, hints of truffle, and a touch of sweet spice, cinnamon and clove, add complexity and depth. Silky texture. Vibrant acidity. Well-balanced, with freshness and length. The finish is long and harmonious, with fine-grained tannins that add structure without overwhelming the delicate fruit profile.
