The Volnay Ronceret is a step up in both definition and weight. No SO2 used during the vinification at this point (21/06/2017) - so expressive and organic fruit wise. The nose is bursting with detailed fruit - boysenberries, red currant and blackbarries - spiced with a fine earthy minerality. On the palate juicy and vibrant fruit - quite rich and generous - but first and foremost charming with it’s vivacious fruit. Perhaps not the most complex wine in the lineup - yet it’s one of my favourites even in 2016.

The Fine Wine Review
A little more volume here: 18.6 hl/ha, or roughly half a crop. No SO2 yet added. The wine is dense, mineral, and stony with dark fruits. The texture is stony, and the wine has firmness, and good length.
