Olivier Leflaive Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Angles 2018 is an exceptional red wine from the renowned Volnay appellation, located in the Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France. This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, standing out for its superior quality. It comes from the ‘Clos des Angles’ climat, recognized as Premier Cru, characterized by its location on the lower slope and calcareous soils that provide ideal drainage for vine cultivation. The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was notably warm and generous, resulting in wines of great maturity and balance, with notable concentration and structure. On the nose, this wine reveals intense aromas of ripe red fruits like cherry, raspberry, and currant, complemented by floral notes of violet and a slight spicy touch evoking its terroir, along with a delicate mineral background. Aging in barrels imparts subtle nuances of fine wood and vanilla, balancing its fruity freshness. On the palate, the Volnay is elegant and balanced, with fine, well-integrated tannins, as well as a fresh acidity that adds tension and a harmonious development. With medium body and a silky texture, it culminates in a persistent finish where fruity and spicy notes reappear.
