Here the nose is both fresher and cooler with lovely aromas of plum, violet, anise and a hint of sandalwood. There is an equally cool mouth feel to the lightly mineral-inflected flavors that possess good delineation on the dusty and balanced if youthfully austere finale. (Burghound)

Varietal Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

Wine Advocate

The 2013 Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans, which was due for racking, has a slightly lean blackberry and undergrowth-scented bouquet that is nicely defined, but lacks a little vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins, but there is good acidity here, and a pleasant iodine note toward the finish. It is just missing a little substance for a Mitans.

Musky purple fruits on the nose. Tight and a bit dry on the palate, with dark berry, plum and licorice flavors supported by a firm spine of tannins. Just eight hectoliters per hectare were produced in 2013.
