Description

The Volnay from Domaine Huber-Verdereau

is a wine of the utmost finesse. Notes of raspberry, fresh blackcurrant and fern unfold on the palate with a lively, tangy freshness that highlights crisp tannins. The palate is juicy, with no gaps, and coats the mouth well. The finish softens with aeration, giving way to a lovely, long-lasting finish.
