Vintage Character The Domaine Bernard & Thierry Glantenay Volnay Vieilles Vignes from the elegant Volnay appellation in the 2023 vintage beautifully showcases the classic precision of the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a warm, sun-drenched growing season balanced by timely rain, yielding red wines of remarkable aromatic charm, bright acidity, and fine-grained structure. This expression benefits from deep-rooted old vines planted in clay-limestone soils, which impart a signature mineral tension and concentrated depth.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, it reveals an alluring bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and fresh violet petals, complemented by subtle nuances of damp earth and baking spice. The palate is medium-bodied, defined by a silky, fluid texture and vibrant acidity that carries the pure red-fruit flavors into a long, mineral-driven finish. Pair this elegant Pinot Noir with a classic pan-seared duck breast with cherry reduction or a delicately spiced Cantonese roasted goose.
