Domaine Jean Vaudoisey Volnay 1er Cru les Mitans – Bourgogne – Red – 2023:

 

Domaine Jean Vaudoisey: Volnay 1er Cru ‘Les Mitans’-A True Climat

Volnay stands for finesse in the Côte de Beaune, and the ‘Les Mitans’ Premier Cru from Domaine Jean Vaudoisey is an exemplary expression. Overseen by the Poirrotte brothers, this wine benefits from meticulous vineyard work and a minimalist approach in the cellar, allowing the elegant Pinot Noir fruit and the unique Mitans terroir to shine through. It is a wine of pedigree, offering immediate pleasure while rewarding careful cellaring.

Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Bright ruby, often showing a lighter, more ethereal colour than its Pommard neighbours.
• Aromas: A wonderfully perfumed nose, featuring a captivating blend of floral notes (violets) and pure red fruit-think fresh raspberries and wild cherries-with a lovely backdrop of subtle oak spice and forest floor.
• Mouthfeel: Exceptionally smooth and delicate on the palate. The tannins are beautifully integrated, giving a firm yet silky structure. It is a seamless wine with great aromatic persistence and a clean, long finish.

Classic Pairings & Service

This Volnay is a magnificent match for British game and poultry. Ideal with a classic Quail or Partridge dish, lightly spiced slow-roast lamb, or a mature Brie or Camembert. Serve slightly chilled (15-17°C) to highlight the Pinot Noir’s fruit and elegance. Decanting is recommended to soften the structure of younger vintages.
