EXPERTS:
“Aged for a year in oak barrels, this is an expressive Volnay showing sour cherry, cedar, beetroot and spice, with smoky notes and a supple mouthfeel. It’s got the structure to last but is drinking beautifully now with filet mignon and sautéed mushrooms.” –LCBO Vintages Tasting Panel
–
PRESS & ACCOLADES:
“Clean, classic, delicate pinot here, with perfectly integrated wood, and fine-grained, dusty tannins. Excellent length. Fine red Burgundy with solid depth and length; drink or hold into the mid-twenties.” –John Szabo MS, winealign.com
