2020 Volnay, Domaine Rebourgeon-Mure

Producer: Domaine Rebourgeon-Mure Wine: 2020 Volnay Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir Review: "Soft-spoken winemaker David Rebourgeon was on hand to guide me through his 2020s, which he picked from August 22 and then over the following week. Unfortunately, his production was 50% down in 2020, and 60% down in 2021, when some of the Premier Cru Volnay bit the dust. Rebourgeon explained to me how his vertical Bucher press was so useful in 2020 in terms of gentle and precise pressing. This was a superb set of wines from one of several growers who are proving Pommard to be one of the fastest-improving appellations in the Côte d'Or. The wines are surfeit with tension and energy and do not short-change in terms of flavor. You'll not find many better Volnay Caillerets or Pommard Grands Epenots than at this address. Rebourgeon is starting to gain a well-deserved reputation, so try to bag what you can given the reduced yields." - Vinous  Food: Couscous with meat and/or poultry, quiche, braised and roas
