Robardelle Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Volnay, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Huge expansive red and black cherries on the nose that are super pure. Just stunning clarity here. Big time cotton candy and also Fun Dip. Stunning depth of aroma and my goodness it is so pure. Palate is super pure, teeming with energy and limestone and wonderful black and red cherry fruit but presented with a pastille like texture. So sapid and deep. Really opening up from its 18 slumber. Super juicy and wonderful acids and big but firm and ripe 18 tannins. Long finish. Will be back as it airs. Super mineral finish.

Aug 8th, 2023Very giving nose of cherry pastille, kirsch, black cherry, super vivid and haunting. Tree bark, dust, spices add complexity. Palate is elegant, a bit woody and sappy with excellent clarity of cherry fruit, black and red. Nimble and elegant. Hint of bitterness on the finish that will temper with air. Great wine. I’ll be back.
9.4 to 9.5 overnight terrific finesse, silky tannins. Sweet cherry fruit. Beguiling minerality.

Super stoney nose with black cherry, black cherry compote, mineral and herbs. Really wonderful, fresh and complex. Mashed flowers. Stunningly deep and layered. Palate is deep, elegant and wonderfully finesse driven. Sappy and pure but so light on its feet. Wonderful palate that is at once silky and also structured and deep. Amazingly sweet black and dark red cherries. Long finish. Needs to open but all there.

Dec 18th, 2021Super bonkers nose. Deep mid season and black cherry. So vivid. Gorgeous stoniness. Stunning. Flowers. Sick. Lipstick like intensity. A nose one can get lost in. Cherry flower. So so good. Dark plums. Juicy and concentrated with terrific sweet fruit and huge stoniness. Big velvety and ripe tannins and succulent decadent fruit. Big cherries, black cherries, late season red cherries, huge fruit soak and length. This is incredible. So pure. Long and winding finish. Will gain more as it airs. I’ll be back.
