2019 Domaine Bernard & Thierry Glantenay Volnay Vieilles Vignes

Once known only to a dedicated group of Burgundy devotees due to their reputation selling much of the production to noted perfectionists Dominique Laurent and Lalou Bize Leroy, Domaine Thierry Glantenay now enjoys no such anonymity. Formally trained as an engineer, Thierry brings those methodical and exacting skills to his winemaking, crafting ethereal Volnay and powerful Pommard that display fantastic transparency of each specific terroir. Blessed with small parcels in the best vineyards of Volnay and Pommard, Thierry has set about a gradual process of refining and perfecting how his vines are managed, and guiding the wines through vinification with a delicate touch.

Other Reviews....
Offering up aromas of wild berries, spices, raw cocoa and dried petals, Glantenay's 2019 Volnay Village is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with lively acids and a long, nicely perfumed finish. As usual, this includes two small premier cru parcels in Les Lurets and En l'Ormeau that Glantenay doesn't vinify separately and which represent around 20% of the cuvée.

The 2019 Volnay Village, matured in 20% new oak, shows a small reduction on the nose though there appears to be plenty of crunchy red berry fruit in situ. The palate is well balanced with crunchy red berry fruit, fine acidity and freshness, sporting Pommard-like structure and austerity towards the finish and finally graphite on the aftertaste. Drink 2023 - 2033.
