Volnay "Sur Roches" - 2022 - Maxime Dubuet Boillot
Domaine Dubuet Boillot
A nose that reflects all the character and elegance of Volnay, with notes of dried strawberry, peony, morello cherry and a hint of mocha... Palate: beautiful concentration, tannic structure, and length with a seemingly endless succession of aromas. Fine ageing potential.

Pinot Noir from vines planted in 1953 on a 70-acre parcel with south/southeast exposure, at an altitude of 350 meters, on predominantly limestone soils, with scattered rock outcroppings. The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted in the cellar, with only the best fruit used to produce the Sur-Roches cuvée. Vinification: whole grape bunches are fermented 14 days in vats; with foot treading and daily pumping-over. Gentle pressing, 12 months of aging in barrels, 30% of which are new.
