Domaine F & L Pillot Volnay: A Study in Burgundian Finesse

The Volnay from Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot is a benchmark red Burgundy, celebrated for its exquisite finesse and velvety texture. Hailing from the prestigious Côte de Beaune, this Pinot Noir benefits from a terroir renowned for producing the most 'feminine' and elegant wines in the region. The Pillot legacy, dating back to the 17th century, is carried on today with a focus on sustainable viticulture, yielding a wine that is both complex and approachable, even in its youth.

Sommelier's Notes

This expression of Volnay is a testament to the appellation’s potential, offering a harmonious and delicate profile:

• **Aroma:** Lifted and pure, the nose presents classic Pinot Noir notes of fresh cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle redcurrant, intertwined with the signature floral lift of violet.
• **Taste:** Elegant and smooth on the palate, with fine-grained, silk-like tannins. It delivers a core of bright red fruit and a pleasing minerality that speaks of its limestone origins. The wine is vigorous yet refined, with a persistent and graceful finish.

Food Pairing & Decanting

An exceptional wine for game and fine poultry. Decant for 30 minutes if enjoying in its first few years. Serve at 15°C.
