Maison Champy (Domaine Champy)
Taillepieds Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Volnay, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Roasted Rosemary with mint peel back to reveal a cran-plum, raspberry and cherry, violet and black rose in barley dust. There is a deeper still grape in clay note with cinnamon. Dry middle with medium mouthfeel and immediate fine-grained tannins. A tangy cherry-cran note persists, there is a minerality and blue dye note mixed with tiny twigs and plum skin. Long, lingering mineral and candied currant. Nose becomes pungent with time, gaining a sweet meatiness, and depth.
