Thierry Glantenay Volnay Vieilles Vigne 2022

Oh hello, silk in a bottle! This Volnay Village might be labelled “village”, but there’s no shortage of pedigree here—some declassified premier cru fruit makes sure of that. It floats out of the glass with rose petals, sweet red berries and cherries, like a summer breeze through a fruit market. On the palate it’s all poise: supple, suave, and effortlessly layered. There’s purity, harmony, and just enough charm to make you raise an eyebrow and top up your glass. Understated brilliance, this one.
