Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru 2021, Joseph Voillot
The archetype of Volnay elegance. A Pinot Noir of extreme purity and grace, sourced from one of the appellation's most prestigious and complete climats.
Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru 2021, Joseph Voillot
Les Champans is often regarded as the beating heart of Volnay, blending the village's signature floral delicacy with a more solid, earthy structure. The 2021 vintage, marked by a cool and "classic" climate, heightens Voillot’s aristocratic style: the nose is an airy bouquet of Morello cherry, crisp red berries, and peony, with subtle hints of forest floor and fine spices. On the palate, it is a hymn to silk; the sip is tense and vibrant, featuring ultra-fine tannins and a mineral freshness that masterfully extends the finish.
