Genot-Boulanger, Volnay (Burgundy, France) 2010

Dec 4, 2012

By Michael Apstein

Although not labeled “Vieilles Vignes,” this village wine comes from three vineyards whose vines average 45 to 60 years. The age of the vines probably explains why you could be fooled into thinking it was a premier cru. It delivers the lovely perfume and delicacy associated with Volnay while the bright cherry-like flavors practically dance across your palate. It’s hard to resist drinking this very pretty easy to recommend wine now, but there’s no rush.
