2005 Chandon de Briailles Volnay Caillerets 1er Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / VOLNAY
Burghound | Rating: 91
A completely different aromatic expression with a spicy, ripe and pretty mix of red, black and violet notes that introduce rich, intense and concentrated flavors that are serious, austere and very firmly structured, in fact to the point where it's not clear that this will ever lose the present tannic edge. de Nicolay indicated that they are rethinking whether the use of stems accords well with this terroir. To be sure, this is an interesting effort but a risky long-term cellar candidate.Author: Allen MeadowsIssue: 2nd Quarter, 2007
