2021 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Angles, Olivier Leflaive

In 2021, generally the Pinots Noirs were less affected by frost damage than the earlier-budding Chardonnays, but there are still only 6 barrels of this lovely wine. The vines lie on the gentle slope between Volnay and Pommard, the wine showing the finesse, perfume and silkiness we expect from the former village, with the dense fleshiness of the latter. The grapes were so perfect that 100% whole bunches were retained for the fermentation, and the wine is ageing in one third new oak barrels. This is very deep, ruby-purple, with opulently ripe, fresh aromas. Palate starts well, and continues magnificently. There is dense fruitiness, gentle tannins, creamy, mouth-coating length and great finesse on the finish (for drinking 2025-2035).
