Volnay 2023 Fanny Sabre
The Volnay 2023 from Domaine Fanny Sabre is a pure, elegant expression of Pinot Noir crafted from some of the most renowned terroirs in the Côte de Beaune. The grapes come from three emblematic parcels in the village of Volnay — Les Brouillards, Clos des Chênes and Les Caillerets — where the Domaine tends 30- to 60-year-old vines cultivated according to organic farming principles. Careful Guyot pruning and strict yield control ensure concentrated, perfectly ripe grapes, all harvested by hand to preserve their integrity.
In the cellar, Fanny Sabre follows her minimalist philosophy aimed at highlighting the identity of the fruit and the terroir. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in concrete and oak vats, while the wine is aged for 18 months in used barriques, a choice that allows it to evolve gently without overwhelming its natural finesse.
In the glass, it displays a bright pale ruby colour, typical of Volnay Pinot Noir. The nose opens with floral notes of violet and rose, followed by aromas of cherry and raspberry and delicate hints of forest floor. The palate is linear, vibrant and refined, supported by lively acidity and silky, delicate tannins leading to a fresh, persistent finish with lingering floral nuances. A graceful, vertical wine that captures the purest spirit of Volnay.
