- (bottled by Maison Joseph Drouhin). This is simply sensational Volnay with magnificently perfumed and delicate aromas and rich, long, beautifully elegant flavors of stunning complexity and superb length. It's curious because the '61 vintage did not produce many masterpieces in Burgundy but when you find one, they're really, really impressive. I would welcome the chance to drink a well-stored bottle of this anytime because I would expect this to live for years from the right storage. In short, a great wine.
