Joseph Drouhin Volnay

Why we love this tipple

“Experience the refined charm of Burgundy with Volnay by the renowned Joseph Drouhin. This red wine encapsulates the elegance and complexity that Volnay is celebrated for, offering a beautifully structured and deeply satisfying tasting experience. On the nose, Volnay captivates with an intriguing blend of aromas—imagine the comforting scent of hot chocolate powder mingling with mild tobacco and a touch of leather. These rich notes are complemented by a fruity medley of cassis, wild strawberry, and a hint of blue raspberry, rounded off with the nuttiness of Brazil nut and the warm spice of nutmeg and vanilla. The palate is a harmonious balance of flavour and structure, with decent tannins supporting the bright and juicy notes of raspberry and wild strawberry. A subtle heat adds depth, while the hints of vanilla and leather provide a smooth, velvety texture. The bright acidity keeps the wine lively, with a whisper of cinnamon adding a final layer of complexity. The finish is round and rich, with the berry fruit and acidity shining through, leaving a lasting impression of fine tannins and balanced flavours. Volnay by Joseph Drouhin is a must-try for those who appreciate the nuanced beauty of Burgundy reds—a wine that’s as elegant as it is enduring.”
