About the wine
Elegant and silky smooth Volnay with finesse and depth
The epitome of refinement from one of Burgundy's most acclaimed appellations. The wine offers a seductive aroma of red cherries, raspberries, and dried rose petals, complemented by subtle spices and a discreet forest floor note. On the palate, it is silky with fine tannins, delicate red berries, and an underlying minerality that provides impressive balance and length.
The grapes hail from the 1er Cru vineyard "Mitans," situated on Volnay's characteristic slopes with calcareous and stony soil. The vines here benefit from perfect exposure and careful tending, resulting in small, concentrated grapes of great complexity.
After hand harvesting and selection, the grapes ferment traditionally in open vats before aging 12-14 months in French oak barrels, some of which are new. This gives the wine structure and subtle depth without overwhelming its elegant fruit character.
Volnay 1er Cru "Mitans" should be served at around 14-16 degrees Celsius and will develop beautifully over the next 10-15 years.
A wine that showcases Arnaud Baillot's dedication to quality and the distinctiveness of the terroir.
