2021 Fanny Sabre Volnay

WINEMAKER: Fanny Sabre
REGION: Burgundy, FR
VARIETAL: Pinot Noir
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

"We very much enjoyed tasting this Volnay in Fanny’s cellars on our most recent visit. This wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir. It has been a harrowing few years for Fanny as hail has wiped out her vineyards in Volnay and Pommard for the last few years. However in 2015 she was again able to harvest enough grapes to make a Volnay wine! The colour is light, the palate shows finesse allied with depth of flavour. It caresses the palate and lingers with the promise of further delights from the next sip. A beautiful wine." - Living Wines

Fanny Sabre has established herself as a leading producer of quality natural Burgundy wines. She is only in her early thirties, but she has very good vines in some great appellations surrounding the ancient city of Beaune as well as a few plots in Pommard, Volnay and Meursault. Her cellar is in the small town of Pommard where she also runs a delightful cafe. She is producing a range of wines in small quantities that are snapped up by the natural wine bars proliferating in Paris and New York.
