Right in the middle of the 1ers at the top of the vineyard. Quite deep soil but with lots of small rocks.
The nose here again a bit less pure. Racy, fresh, cool fruit - ooh - that’s impressive. I think this will be a really excellent wine - I just love the shape of it.
The Volnay Ronceret is a step up in both definition and weight; generous, and rather classic Volnay. Balanced but simultaneously deep and dark, this is border-line concentration-wise, but manages to keep its energy and holistic qualities.
The 2020 Volnay Ronceret 1er Cru takes some time to coalesce in the glass, though it demonstates a little more precision than the Robardelle, the fruit slightly darker and less confit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, quite harmonious with a luxuriant but focused cassis-tinged finish. This should age well in bottle. Just one barrel produced. (Drink between 2025-2040)
