Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Volnay 1er Cru les Mitans 2011 feels a little musty on the nose, which is missing some harmony and focus and becomes ever-increasingly raw with time. The palate is masculine with dry tannins; the fruit not quite in sync with the structure of the wine and the finish feels rather disjointed and diffuse. I will seek to re-taste this Volnay.

(100% vendange entier; 20% new oak; small, concentrated berries from old vines): Good medium red. Lovely subtle perfume of cherry and raspberry liqueur lifted by a peppery element. Sweet, dense and lively but restrained on the palate, with distinctly dark flavors of blueberry, licorice and bitter chocolate. The brooding finish features broad, palate-coating tannins. I like the peppery stem element here as it contributes energy without overpowering the wine's fruit.

Volnay’s Domaine de Montille is one of the most historic in the Côte d’Or. Founded in 1730, the property remains family-owned and run, with Etienne de Montille – the ninth generation – at the helm today.
