2009 Dublere Volnay Pitures Premier Cru Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir: 750ml

$49.99

about this wine:

Volnay, admired for its delicacy, its sap, and its bouquet, has always been thought of as the most feminine of burgundies. Though certain of its terroirs modify this judgment with more vigorous and muscular versions, it truly does stand out among the red wines of the Côte de Beaune like the lipstick imprint of a kiss... The color varies from bright ruby to a light garnet. Its aromas are of violet, gooseberry, cherry, and - with age - spices, game and cooked prune. It has an immediate appeal which, added to a slight natural precocity, means it can be fully open while still relatively young. The attack is fresh, the finish is warm.

Burghound, May 2011

This too is highly perfumed and expressive with elegant red pinot fruit aromas that possess added nuance in the form of subtle spice and violet hints. As one might reasonably expect, here the minerality is more prominent on the round, supple and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a silky finish. This is very Volnay in basic character and delivers positively terrific length.

About Winery

There are not a lot of Americans who are led by their passion to become winemakers in Burgundy. Blair Pethel stumbled across this passion by chance in the late 1980s with his first trip to the region.

He worked a harvest in 1999 and moved there permanently with his family in 2003, and started making wine in 2004, after qualifying in viticulture and oenology with a year's course at the famous Lycée Viticole of Beaune. He apprenticed with several top winemakers -- Patrice Rion in Premeaux-Prissey and Jean-Marc Pillot in Chassagne-Montrachet, to name two -- and thanks to them learned to work both the vines and the wine with care and respect.

The estate at this point is very small, but its wines are not. All Domaine Dublère's wines demonstrate that it's not necessary to be big to be extraordinary.
