Tasting Note:
The 2022 Volnay from Domaine Hugues Pavelot is a strikingly expressive red Burgundy, weaving savoury nuance and floral lift into a wine of serious charm and complexity. The nose opens with an earthy, meaty intensity—mushroom, forest floor, and polished wood furniture—quickly giving way to layers of cherry jam, hibiscus, rose water, Turkish delight, and exotic Asian spice. Red currants and dried petals flicker in and out, revealing more facets with each swirl.
On the palate, it’s juicy and sapid, with vibrant acidity reining in the wine’s fullness just as it begins to unfurl. There’s a real chew and bounce to the texture—supple yet structured—with fine-grained, lightly grippy tannins that carry through the finish determinedly. It’s effortlessly drinkable, yet intellectually engaging; the kind of wine that keeps you coming back for another glass.
Drink now through 2035 with duck breast, soy-glazed mushrooms, or rosemary-roasted root vegetables.
