We are thrilled to offer a truly exceptional selection from our cellars for the Burgundy enthusiast: the 2018 Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils Volnay Taillepieds 1er Cru. Quantities are limited on this wine as we snagged a library offering from our supplier.
Hailing from one of the most respected, historic estates in the Côte de Beaune, this premier cru micro-parcel delivers a concentrated and powerful expression of 100% Pinot Noir. The 2018 vintage is particularly noteworthy for its beautifully integrated muscular structure, balanced with classic Volnay elegance.
The nose displays vivid notes of cherries, ripe raspberries, cocoa, and earthy soil. The palate gives way to poached plums, dark berries, mocha, and subtle woodsy undertones. This wine finishes with sleek tannins, on a medium body, and a long, dry, mineral-driven finish.
This powerful yet sleek Pinot Noir makes a classic partner at the dining table for your upcoming Thanksgiving or Holiday meals. We also recommend some Fall Classics such as Roasted duck or Goose, seared game birds, mushroom-driven dishes, or truffled risotto.
