2021 Volnay, Domaine Rebourgeon-Mure
Volnay, Burgundy, France
Rebourgeon has a growing reputation for seriously good pinot noir which is kind of ironic as the families’ winemaking roots can be traced back to 1552! This 2019 Volnay has a perfect balance of tension, energy and flavour. It is made from two parcels, one in Les Pluchots planted in the 1920s and one in Les Lurets, half Premier Cru and half Village Cru.
In the glass, this Volnay has a lovely nose of dark berry fruit with hints of rose petals and blackcurrant. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine grip, succulent tannins, with a mixture of blue and blackberry fruit An all-around delicious wine.

Daniel Rebourgeon and his son David own and operate one of the oldest estates in Pommard, started by their ancestor Jean Bourgogne in 1552 who had taken a 99-year lease to raise vines at the holy abbey, Marguerite of Bouillard.
From their Domaine in Pommard, the Rebourgeons tend 18 acres, divided between many well-regarded holdings in the appellations of Beaune, Volnay and Pommard, planted entirely in Pinot Noir and averaging more than 40 years with the oldest parcels of Pommard planted in 1902. The viticultural and winemaking methods have not changed much in the last five centuries: Responsible farming, manual harvest, and an aim to make elegant wines with the ability to age.
