Olivier Leflaive Frères Volnay 2018

About

High perched on the Côte de Beaune, narrow and steep to leave all the vines comfortable, Volnay is backed by a small mountain, forming a slight bend in the general orientation of the slopes: from the east to the south-east. The typicality of the vineyard was affirmed from the 18th century. This Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée established in 1937 is accompanied by Volnay-Santenots produced in Meursault.

Terroir

The grapes are purchased in different and complementary places called (Echards, Grands Champs, Poisots, Famines), blended directly in the tanks. The soil of Volnay is lighter and stonier than the soil of its neighbor Pommard. Volnay produces elegant and fruity wines.

Vinification

The grapes are grown in calcareous clay soil. 100% Pinot Noir. 100% destemmed berries. Alcoholic fermentations in open vats for 18 days. 16 months ( 4 months in stainless steel tank) 100% in oak barrels (20% new oak)

Tasting Notes

The nose reveals aromas of grenadine and red fruits, with structuring but already well-melted tannins.

Food Pairing

Ideal with beef bourguignon.
