Description
Volnay 1997 – Maison Pierre André
The 1997 Volnay from Maison Pierre André is a fine expression of the silky, graceful character for which this Côte de Beaune appellation is renowned. The early and generous 1997 vintage in Burgundy produced wines that were approachable yet elegant, driven by finesse rather than power. Now fully mature, this Volnay offers a harmonious and accomplished profile.
The colour shows an evolved ruby hue with slight brick tones at the rim, reflecting gentle and steady ageing. The nose is refined and expressive, revealing ripe cherry, raspberry and stewed strawberry, followed by delicate tertiary notes of forest floor, dried leaves, fine leather and gentle spices. A subtle hint of faded florals highlights the natural elegance of Volnay Pinot Noir.
On the palate, the wine is supple, silky and fully integrated. The tannins are fine and completely resolved, supporting a delicate and well-balanced texture. Flavours of evolved red fruits, earthy notes, discreet oak and light spices unfold with precision and restraint. The finish is elegant and persistent, leaving an impression of finesse, balance and classic Burgundian charm.
A charming and delicate mature Volnay — refined, harmonious and expressive — perfect for lovers of aged Burgundy seeking subtlety, elegance and emotion.
