Drink or Keep
"Velvety and delicate, Volnay is said to leave a kiss on the Côte de Beaune...".
With its brilliant ruby color, Volnay 1er Cru Champans is very subtle on the nose, with notes of violet, redcurrant, cherry and spices. Silky on the palate, this is a very elegant wine whose concentration and complexity are expressed in a delicate, nuanced way.
