Volnay Red 1er Cru "Les Angles" 2020 | Wine from Domaine Louis Boillot

Red wine Volnay 1er cru "Les Angles" 2020 Domaine Louis Boillot

Louis comes from a long line of winemakers historically established in Volnay. Initially working with his father and brother at Domaine Lucien Boillot, Louis took off in 2003 to offer his own wines, vinified in Chambolle-Musigny alongside his wife Ghislaine Barthod.
He is fortunate to be able to farm superb plots located on the two coasts (Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits).
Since 2019, his son Clément has gradually taken up the torch, with him the wines evolve towards a great purity of fruit and better integrated tannins offering a earlier drinkability where the terroir expresses itself freely. The wines are aged in oak barrels for between 15 and 18 months and are bottled without clarification or filtration.

This Volnay 1er Cru "Les Angles" 2020 is adorned with a dark purple colour, it has a great balance and a beautiful structure, it offers aromas of red fruits, cherry, and supple tannins. On the nose, aromas of violets, redcurrants, cherries and, with age, spices, game and cooked prunes. His concentration and complexity are expressed in a delicate and nuanced way. In addition to the frankness of taste, there is a precocity that allows the Volnays to open up quite early. Fresh on the attack, warm on the finish, we think we are biting into the fruit and breathing in its flesh.
