Louis Latour Volnay 2023

With the "Volnay?, Pinot lovers can expect a delicate, fragrant expression of Pinot Noir. Louis Latour's 2023 Village comes from vines around 30 years old, growing on Bathonian limestone and clay, and is harvested by hand. Fermentation takes place traditionally in open fermentation vats, after which the wine matures for ten to twelve months in French oak, 15 per cent of which are new barrels. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby red colour. On the nose, cherry and undergrowth combine with subtle spice; on the palate, the wine is round, elegant and supple. Resinous and spicy notes add further depth without overpowering the fruit. A classically styled "Volnay? with fine tannins and understated power.
