Domaine Aegerter 2021, Volnay

This is the bottle you bring to a dinner where the host just finished watching Babette’s Feast and plans to cook accordingly. It’s delicate, complex, and deserves a seat next to the good china.

Tasting Notes: Garnet in color with ruby flashes, this Volnay opens with elegant aromas of black fruit, violet, and rose, lifted by subtle notes of coffee and toast. On the palate, it’s all about balance and harmony. Bright freshness carries through fine tannins, giving the wine both lift and depth. The finish is long and polished, showing off the finesse that defines this appellation. Pair it with richly textured dishes like braised monkfish or rabbit stew, ideally with something tart and red on the plate.

Varietals: 100% Pinot Noir
