The 2019 Volnay Village is promising, mingling aromas of cherries and dark berry fruit with hints of rose petals and warm spices. Medium-bodied, concentrated and vibrant, it's built around powdery tannins and tangy acids, concluding with a penetrating finish. It's finer-boned than its richer, more muscular 2018 counterpart.

The 2019 Volnay Village has a clean and precise bouquet, a mixture of blackberry and raspberry fruit, briary and a light marine scent. The palate is medium-bodied with a dab of sour cherry on the entry, fine acidity, lively with orange rind and a pinch of black pepper towards the harmonious finish. This is a good "solid" Volnay without all the frills.
