Vinified entirely with whole clusters, the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans mingles aromas of peonies and orange rind with sweet berry fruit, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety palate, with powdery structuring tannins and an aromatic finish.

The 2018 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru is 100% whole cluster and underwent one of the earliest malolactics, finishing by January 2019. It has a mixture of red and black fruit tinged with brown spices. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, the whole cluster so well integrated that you would guess it contained far less. The elegant finish is tinged with bay leaf and white pepper notes. Excellent.
