Louis Billard Volnay 2023

Tasting Notes
Silky and lifted right from the first pour. Aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, crushed rose, and a faint hint of warm earth rise from the glass. The palate is fine and vivid — red-fruited, graceful, and quietly structured, with featherweight tannins that feel more like texture than grip. There’s a subtle spice note, a touch of forest floor, and a clear limestone-threaded finish that brings length and refinement. Elegant, pure, and unmistakably Volnay in its poise.

Why It’s Special

• Volnay is known for producing some of the most delicate and perfumed Pinot Noir in Burgundy, and this 2023 captures that signature style without trying too hard.

• Louis Billard farms organically and harvests by hand, allowing the fruit to show without the need for heavy extraction or oak.

• The wine balances approachability and finesse — drinkable now for its freshness, but with enough quiet structure to age gracefully for 5–8+ years.

• It’s the kind of Volnay that feels genuine and thoughtful: refined but not precious, detailed but not fragile — a wine that earns attention without demanding it.

About the Producer
Domaine Louis Billard is a family-run estate dedicated to organic farming and restrained winemaking across the Hautes-Côtes and Côte de Beaune. The focus is always on vineyard expression: healthy vines, careful observation, gentle work in the cellar, and aging primarily in neutral barrels to avoid overshadowing the fruit. Their reds are known for clarity and finesse over weight — Pinot Noir shaped by terroir and intuition, not intervention. This Volnay 2023 is a perfect example: elegant, precise, and deeply rooted in its place.
