VOLNAY 1ER CRU TAILLEPIEDS 2017 vol. 13,0

Geography : Highest altitude of the Domaine, located next to the Clos des Chênes, since the beginning of the appellation Taillepieds. Its name comes from the steep slops forcing the workers to bend forward.
Soil and environment : Really chalky white soil with a lot of exposed gravels because of the erosion; helped by the sun light and the direct South-East exposure.
The vine : Really old vine, 60 to 70 years old. Sold by Domaine de Montille to his great grandfather.
The wine : Round, fat and rich on the palate due to the age of the vines. Beautiful maturity in the mouthfeel. The natural minerality of the terroir delivers really fine tannins with a lot of elegance. The fresh aromatic flavor will provide a lot of satisfying drinking as it ages into maturity.
