NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Paul Pernot Volnay 1er Cru immediately captivates with its radiant ruby color and shimmering translucence.The nose is a bouquet of finesse, featuring red berries, cherries, and a hint of violets, underpinned by a delicate earthiness and a whisper of oak. On tasting, the wine reveals its true artistry—a seamless blend of bright red fruit and a taut mineral streak, reflecting the limestone-rich soils of the vineyard. The texture is silken, with tannins that are present yet incredibly fine-grained, promising graceful aging potential. The finish is persistent, echoing with notes of spice and a subtle floral lift that make for an exceptionally elegant and balanced Volnay.
