About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Pinot NoirBurgundy, FranceFifth generation vigneron and winemaker, Nicolas Rossignol honed his skills in France and further afield; including stints in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Bordeaux and South Africa.

The 2017 Volnay Les Chevrets 1er Cru contains 30% whole clusters. It has a more complex bouquet than Les Caillerets, featuring blackberry, sage, clove and a light marine influence. The palate is succulent and rounded, perhaps belying the backbone of this Volnay. There is good grip and nice focus here. A lick of limestone titillates the tongue on the finish. Superb. Vinous
