A Pinot Noir from Burgundy is an unmissable choice for those who love old world wines. Pinot Noirs are difficult to plant—especially in Burgundy. The unpredictable weather means that in certain years and regions there can be no fruit to harvest at all. Last year, in particular, the widely reported severe climate made many loyal Burgundy fans worry. However, marginal climate is also capable of creating magnificent wines. Volnay is one of the bigger sub-regions of Burgundy with considerable production scale, which makes it possible for wine lovers to afford and share. This 1er Cru from Clos de la Pousse d'Or has harmonious structure and a light body, worth savouring over casual chats with your close wine mates.
