Fine bright red crimson, with a pure light red fruit nose, this is very stylish, with just the right (natural) acidity, with again a long finish. Classy for a nearly unknown 1er cru. Actually, these days it should go under the heading of 1er Cru Ronceret, but François Bitouzet prefers to retain the old name.

The 2019 Volnay Les Aussy 1er Cru comes from vines planted in 1997 and 1956. It has a punchy, quite energetic bouquet with vivacious red berry fruit laced with wilted iris petals and a touch of oyster shell. The aromatics are determined to grab your attention. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and a fine bead of acidity. Without being banal, there is just a lot of Pinoté in this Volnay and that is something I appreciate. Open and generous on the finish, this does one of the appellation’s lesser-known vineyards proud. (Drink between 2023-2036).
