2022 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....
As usual including some declassified premier cru fruit, Glantenay's 2022 Volnay Village wafts from the glass with aromas of rose petals, sweet berries and cherries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and suave palate that's layered, pure and harmoniously balanced.

The 2022 Volnay Vieilles Vignes is completely de-stemmed. Brambly red fruit and light tertiary scents on the nose that sports a minor reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, not a complex Volnay, but fresh with fine backbone and respectable mineralité on the finish. A well-crafted Volnay. Drink 2025-2035.
