Volnay Red "Sur-Roches" Whole Harvest 2023 | Wine from Domaine Maxime Dubuet-Boillot

The Volnay Rouge "Sur-Roches" Whole Cluster 2023 from the Domain Maxime Dubuet-Boillot embodies the purity and elegance of the great wines of the Côte de Beaune. This cuvée comes from a six-hectare plot located on the heights of Volnay, at the heart of a region renowned for its complexity and its ability to produce exceptional wines.

A unique terroir

The "Sur-Roches" climate is characterized by a very rocky soil with many rocky outcrops and a steep slope. This natural drainage promotes the aromatic concentration and tannic finesse of the Pinot Noir, emblematic grape variety of Burgundy.

Whole cluster and winemaking

The philosophy of the estate is based on traditional practices that respect the terroir. The grapes are harvested Manually then vinified in 100% whole cluster fermentation. The long maceration, about 25 days on skins, allows for the delicate extraction of aromas and structure, while preserving freshness and balance.

The breeding takes place in oak barrels aged from one to three years, in order to add complexity without masking the expression of the fruit. The low-intervention approach of Maxime Dubuet-Boillot guarantees a wine of a great authenticity, marked by the imprint of the terroir more than by the aging process.

Tasting

On the nose, this Volnay Sur-Roches 2023 opens with delicate aromas of Morello cherries, of fresh strawberries and of peony, accompanied by subtle floral notes.
On the palate, the texture is silky and refined, with a high tension and a assertive minerality. The balance between freshness and fruitiness makes this wine both accessible in its youth and endowed with good aging potential.

Food and wine pairings

This wine from Volnay will perfectly match with:

• a roasted poultry,

• a veal fillet with herbs,

• refined vegetarian dishes, such as mushroom risotto,

• or even ripened soft cheeses.
