Volnay Vielles Vignes - Pinot Noir (19) G.Glantenay

The Volnay VV is a bigger, more exuberant, and sexier wine. Yes, it’s not from the coolest of years, but it still has a silky, sensual feel. Very old vines (the oldest planted in 1932) give a sumptuous, rich mid-palate. This is a gorgeous expression of the Volnay appellation, and in the 2019 vintage is simply a treat.

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!
