Description
In a nutshell:
Delicate red fruit, fine tannins, and a touch of ethereal grace - Volnay doing what it does best, with understated elegance.
The lowdown:
Volnay is renowned for its reds, some of the finest on the Côte de Beaune, and Jean-Jacques Girard's wines certainly do the village justice. This one comes from a tiny plot of vines planted in 1959, delivering a soft, aromatic character that feels almost delicate. A touch of vanilla creaminess from 15 months in oak adds warmth, while ripe red fruits and fresh acidity keep it bright and lively. It's all about elegance here - a wine with charm to spare.
The Producer:
The Girards are one of the oldest winemaking families in the village of Savigny-Lès-Beaune with a history stretching back over five centuries. Today the current owner of the domaine, Jean-Jacques Girard and his son Vincent combine the best of modern and traditional techniques to produce a range of wines that all show great purity and elegance. The reds are delicious, accessible wines which are fantastic for drinking when young but also have great potential for ageing. And the whites have really come into their own since their new winery, completed in 2014, allows them to be fermented in their own separate temperature controlled cellar.
When to drink:
In its prime now but has plenty of life left if you're patient - perfect alongside roast quail in red wine sauce or hare à la royale, where its delicate red fruit and silky elegance can handle the rich, gamey flavours with ease.
