A wine of great elegance with vivid and bright colour. When the wine is young, the aromas are reminiscent of violet and black currant. With age, the aromas take on notes of ripe or candied fruit, mushroom and mild spices. On the palate, a pleasant sensation of roundness and velvety texture. Long aftertaste, with touches of candied fruit and vanilla. With Volnay, such traditional Burgundian fare as pot-au-feu, coq au vin, beef bourguignon or any other slowly cooked stew-like daube is heart-warming and delicious.
