Reyane & Pascal Bouley, Volnay 1er Cru Champans, 2014
Champans is one of Volnay's most celebrated Premier Crus, a south-facing limestone-and-clay slope that gives Pinot Noir a graceful mix of perfume and backbone. The Bouley family, vignerons in Volnay for six generations, farm a small parcel here and make it in a classic, structured style. This is a 2014, a fresher and more elegant Burgundy vintage than the warm years around it, with bright acidity and finely-drawn fruit. With around a decade of age it's opening up nicely; drink now or hold a few more years.
