Mitans usually produces a measly 20 hl/ha, but yielded twice that in 2017 without the slightest drop in quality. This is quite marked by its two-thirds whole clusters, with notes of peat and green malt, but this definitely adds another layer of complexity to what is a fine, sappy, focussed premier cru bottling. ...

The 2017 Volnay Les Mitans ler Cru is entirely whole cluster bunches and 30% new oak. It has quite an expressive and open bouquet with kirsch, wild strawberry and orange blossom aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy in the mouth, quite caressing but with good depth, a mixture of red and black fruit towards the lightly spiced finish. Perhaps one of the earlier drinking Volnays. This is very well crafted.

An elegant, pure and airy nose reflects notes of markedly floral red pinot fruit with background nuances of herbal tea and spice elements. The lacy, refined and lilting flavors dance across the palate though the balanced finish tightens up sufficiently to signal that even as graceful as it is, it's still going to require 10 to 12 years to arrive at its peak. Textbook Mitans.

This has a very fragrant edge, as well as swirling, spicy complexity. Sweet fruit here, in the red-cherry zone. The palate has fine and quite feminine style with a web of fine tannins, carrying strawberry fruit flavors. Long and bright. Drink or hold.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir translates as 'black pine' in French, and is named as such due to the extremely inky color of the fruits, which hang in bunches the shape of a pine cone. Wineries often struggle with Pinot Noir vines, as more than most red wine grape varietals, they fail in hot temperatures and are rather susceptible to various diseases which can be disastrous when hoping for a late harvest. Thanks to new technologies and methods for avoiding such problems, however, the Pinot Noir grape varietal has spread across the world to almost every major wine producing country. Why? Quite simply because this is considered to be one of the finest grape varietals one can cultivate, due to the fact that it can be used to produce a wide range of excellent wines full of interesting, fresh and fascinating flavors Their thin skins result in a fairly light-bodied wine, and the juices carry beautiful notes of summer fruits, currants and berries, and many, many more.

Region: Burgundy

The region of Burgundy has become synonymous with high quality red wines, but in actual fact the region consistently produces a wide variety of fine wines of many different styles, rigorously protected by French wine laws designed to keep reputations and quality at a very high level. The region benefits greatly from a warm and sunny summer climate, which, coupled with the excellent quality soils which typify the region, and centuries of experience and expertise, has led to the region being known all over the world for the excellence of its produce. The majority of grapevines grown here are of the Pinot Noir varietal, which has helped Burgundy become known as the definitive region for elegant and smooth red wines, but Chardonnay grapes and many others are also grown in abundance and used to make both still and sparkling wines.

Country: France

French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.

Appellation: Cote De Beaune

Anyone who knows anything about fine white wines, and especially fine Chardonnay wines, will surely tell you that there is nowhere on earth quite as impressive as Cote De Beaune when it comes to this particular grape varietal. This beautiful part of the Cote d'Or has been producing many of the world's finest Chardonnay wines for centuries, and their blend of traditional and modern techniques mean that their reputation has been upheld and maintained in the twenty-first century. However, it isn't all about white wine in Cote De Beaune, as the area also produces vast amounts of characterful and interesting red wines, predominantly made from the Pinot Noir grape. Cote De Beaune Pinot Noir tends to be lighter and fruitier than others, and absolutely delicious.
