Volnay les Pitures 2020 Vintage Overview

2020 OVERVIEW

Tense, concentrated Volnay from Domaine Michel Lafarge’s tiny holding in Les Pitures, this 2020 layers deep mulberry and blackberry fruit with hints of poached plum, rose and anise over a core of stony, Pommard-like structure. The palate is muscular yet finely composed, packed with sappy extract and firm tannins that promise long development, the finish long, serious and just cushioned by a subtle, velvety charm. A powerful, ageworthy expression that shows the darker, more architectural side of Volnay in this ripe, intense vintage.
