🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH 【An elegant, finely framed Pinot Noir from Bastian Wolber's "Laisse Tomber" project, capturing Volnay's signature grace and perfume through biodynamic, low-intervention winemaking.】 Bastian Wolber is considered a prodigy in winemaking, with his "Laisse Tomber" project (meaning "Let it be" or "Let it fall," a playful nod to a skateboarding injury). He sources fruit across Europe, including Burgundy, and is committed to low-intervention, biodynamic farming. The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was described as generous and classical. The "Laisse Tomber" Volnay 2023 is from 130-year-old vines in the Dessus Les Vermots vineyard, some of the oldest producing Pinot Noir vines in the Côte de Beaune. This wine displays a bright ruby with a luminous, transparent core. Aromas include red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, violet, rose petal, subtle spice, and delicate earthy notes. The palate is dry and silky, with fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a precise, elegant core of red fruit. It finishes long, refined, and savory, with a floral-mineral close. For the 2023 Savigny-lès-Beaune, expect dark cherry, forest floor, crushed violet, liquorice, and fine persistent tannin. Some user reviews for the 2023 vintage mention less fresh fruit and more of a plum soup taste, with some bottles showing slight fizziness, suggesting variability or early drinkability. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH Excellent with duck, roast chicken, veal, quail, mushrooms, and refined charcuterie. It also pairs beautifully with elegant bistro dishes and earthy vegetarian cuisine. 🥂 fit for event suggestion IN ENGLISH The 2023 vintage should offer freshness and definition, with enough structure for medium-term aging. While some notes suggest it can be drunk now, it may benefit from a bit more time in the bottle.
