Volnay Village - Pinot Noir (20) G.Glantenay

The Volnay village is an assembly of several plots: Les Aussy, Les Petits Gamets, La Gigotte, Les Buttes, Robardelles, Les Grands Poisots, En Echards and Les Combes are included. Glantenay produces two Volnay village cuvées: this, and a vieilles vignes – and there is quite a difference. The regular Volnay is showing well. Aged in 20% new oak, it is lively, fresh and delicate, coming from 20- to 60-year-old vines. Delightful juice.

Domaine Georges Glantenay

Georges Glantenay is a sister-and-brother joint venture, with Sarah in charge of sales and brother Guillaume in charge of viticulture and winemaking. 

The 2019s here are, as expected, vivid and lively, and as the years pass, Guillaume gets better and better at his job. He has enough experience now that he feels confident in experimenting a bit. This is good, as the wines here are both lovely and relatively affordable – for the time being. The wines are very enjoyable, but make no mistake: They strike a fine balance between complexity and drinkability. Well done!
