NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Volnay 1er Cru from Domaine Michel Lafarge is a classic expression of Pinot Noir.It offers aromas of ripe cherries, red currants, and earthy spices, plus subtle notes of violets and truffles. On the palate, this elegant red is full-bodied and silky, with a lively acidity and firm tannins. Flavors of dark berries, plums, and sweet spices linger on the long finish. A truly remarkable example of Burgundy terroir.
