2023 Blain-Gagnard Volnay 1er Cru Les Pitures
Volnay Les Pitures shows a more robust, grounded register—less airy perfume, more drive and mid‑palate authority.
In 2023, it shows clarity of fruit with earlier accessibility, backed by structure that should hold in the cellar: violet, plum and earthy spice over a limestone thread; neutral-leaning élevage keeps fruit clean while preserving a firm, collector-friendly structure.
This is the range’s more muscular Volnay: tension early, harmony and deeper complexity with cellaring.
Drinking Window: 2025–2041.
