PRE ARRIVAL 2023 Pierre Vincent Volnay 1er Cru 'Le Ronceret' 750Ml

"The vines date back to 1980, in Les Aussy. 50% whole bunch vinification. Mid crimson purple. Taking time to tease out the nose. There is plenty of fruit weight here, more red than black, lifted towards the back of the palate with a little white pepper and good acidity. The 1er Cru quality really shows the further back you go on the palate, with an engaging complex yet very refined finish." 92-94 points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

"The 2023 Volnay Le Ronceret 1er Cru is definitely a step up from the Ez Blanches. The 50% whole bunches impart light peppery scents, ample fruit concentration and wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit and fine acidity. Again, it is Pommard-like in style, with a strict, black pepper and graphite-tinged finish. It's not bad at all, though the Monthélie has a touch more charm." 89-91 points - Neal Martin, Vinous
