Description
The Volnay Les Lurets from Domaine Huber-Verdereau is a wine of real character; a splendid 2020 vintage made for ageing. It boasts a slightly full-bodied aromatic complexity. Its intense concentration on the palate in no way detracts from its elegance. The palate is vibrant, with the power restrained by fine tannins: pure class!
