ready-improve2011 Volnay, Les Angles, 1er Cru, Domaine Louis Boillot & Fils

The Boillot family has a long and rich history in Burgundy, and fortunately, Louis has a habit of holding back a little wine each year to be offered when it is at maturity. The village of Volnay is renowned for producing elegant, perfumed red wines, and this 2011 is drinking beautifully now. 

The nose is delicate and lifted with crushed strawberry fruit, a touch of sousbois, subtle sweet oak spice and gentle graphite notes. The palate is energetic and fresh with a keen thread of acidity that calls out for food, while the tannins are smooth and layered. This would be the ideal partner for duck or mushroom dishes.
