Domaine Aline Thiebaut – Volnay Vieilles Vignes
AOC Volnay
Elegance and finesse arise in rich floral notes, black cherry, blackberry and mineral. These qualities are enhanced by the beautiful maturity of this vintage, and its concentration, large and fresh with a subtle balance on the palate. The harmony in this wine is superb.
