About the wine
Julien's super light and delicate Volnay is heaven-in-a-glass for Pinot Noir purists
-
Perhaps the lightest and most elegant of Julien’s trio of Côte de Beaune reds. This is definitely a wine for the Pinot Noir purists.
-
Aged for 12 months in French oak for added complexity, on the nose you’ll get subtle hints of raspberries and a leafy freshness, with tannins as light as a feather.
-
A wine this complex and delicate can easily be enjoyed on its own, sipped slowly, so you can savour every mouthful. But if you’re planning on having this wine with food, it doesn’t get much better than roast turkey with all the trimmings (perhaps paired with sleigh bells and stockings). And if that’s not for you, it should also slip down a treat with anything cheesy, mushroomy or even pepperoni pizza-y.

Serving advice
Serve lightly chilled at 14-16°C
Food match
A light Pinot Noir like this is the perfect pairing for roast turkey. But it would also go well with cheeses (just not anything too powerful like Gorgonzola) as well as mushroom dishes and pizzas.
