2004 Domaine de Montille Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / VOLNAY
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 91
(from barrel; this one only finished its malolactic fermentation in September) Medium red. Smoky red fruits and underbrush on the nose. Fat, full and sweet, with flavors of redcurrant and plum. Not more concentrated than the Mitans but possesses a bit more mineral spine. Slightly sauvage suggestions of leather and game.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2006Burghound | Rating: 89
A very gentle touch of wood frames ripe red pinot fruit, earth and background notes of iron and underbrush that introduce very ripe, round and rich medium full flavors that offer good vivacity and punch on the moderately long finish. The tannins do not have a high degree of phenolic ripeness yet there is no trace of astringency or undue dryness.Author: Allen MeadowsIssue: 2nd Quarter, 2006Jancis Robinson | Rating: 17
Cask sample. Very lively and brisk, yet rich underneath. Very, very lively. Prominent acidity. Dry finish.Author: Jancis Robinson
