Magnum Domaine Henri Delagrange Volnay Vieilles Vignes 2023

Domaine Henri Delagrange Volnay in Magnum: the Vieilles Vignes in their finest expression

The Domaine Henri Delagrange Volnay Vieilles Vignes in Magnum offers an even more refined representation of this great Pinot Noir from Burgundy. Thanks to its 1.5-liter format, the wine benefits from a slower evolution that sustainably preserves its balance, freshness, and aromatic richness.

Coming from old vines planted on the slopes of Volnay, this wine expresses all the delicacy that makes the appellation renowned. The Magnum allows the bouquet to gradually gain complexity without losing the finesse that characterizes the greatest Pinots Noirs of the Côte de Beaune.

Whether to enrich a cellar or accompany a meal with several guests, this large format is a preferred choice.

Why choose a Magnum of Volnay?

For a long time, enthusiasts have considered the Magnum to be the best format for aging.

The larger volume naturally slows down the exchanges between the wine and the oxygen contained under the cork. This gradual evolution allows the aromas to develop with greater subtlety and promotes better integration of the tannins.

For an appellation known for its elegance, this slow maturation adds an extra dimension to the tasting experience.

Thus, the Magnum becomes the ideal companion for festive meals, birthdays, or large tastings among enthusiasts.

The preferred format of collectors

Large formats often allow for a remarkable level of complexity after several years of aging.

They also represent a beautiful piece for the cellar.

Domaine Henri Delagrange Volnay and the Vieilles Vignes

The Domaine Henri Delagrange Volnay Vieilles Vignes comes from old plots located on the limestone slopes of Volnay.

The age of the vines naturally favors a low production of grapes but a superior aromatic concentration. The deep roots draw minerals from the subsoil, giving the wine a beautiful tension and remarkable precision.

The balance between clay and limestone allows the Pinot Noir to express all its finesse without ever lacking depth.

In the Magnum format, this identity asserts itself even more over time.

A material that evolves with elegance

The Magnum gradually reveals all the richness of the old vines.

Each year of aging brings new aromatic nuances.

A meticulous elaboration

The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand before a meticulous sorting.

Fermentations are conducted gently to preserve the fruit and the delicate floral nuances of the Pinot Noir. The extractions remain moderate to maintain a silky texture.

Aging in oak barrels slowly accompanies the wine without masking the identity of the terroir. This approach emphasizes the purity of the fruit, freshness, and elegance.

The Domaine Henri Delagrange primarily seeks a lasting balance, especially highlighted in the Magnum format.

A vinification service to the terroir

Every intervention is designed to preserve the personality of the vintage.

Finesse always remains a priority.

A tasting that gains complexity

The color retains its brilliant ruby hue for a long time thanks to the slower evolution of the Magnum.

The first nose reveals aromas of cherry, fresh raspberry, currant, and violet. With the years, notes of dried rose, underbrush, delicate leather, sweet spices, and truffle gradually emerge.

On the palate, the texture is particularly silky. The tannins slowly refine while the freshness remains perfectly preserved.

The finish delights with its elegance, length, and remarkable precision.
