CS Much deeper than the other Rossignols. Gosh, quite a powerful beast! Sweet and dense and so much fruit that it's almost delicious already though there are definitely tannins hidden down there. Fine and yet with quite a lot to give. Very nice balance. Drink this very early or wait quite a while - preferably the latter to capitalise on your investment.

Distinctive. Dark fruits--blackberry, black currant--along with licorice and spice notes permeate this concentrated red. It's full of savory character, with a mineral-saline streak on the finish.Author: Bruce SandersonWine Advocate | Rating: 92
From a deeper site just below Caillerets and north of the Santenots du Milieu, a 2005 Volnay Chevret offers generous ripe blackberry, a simple, salty mineral expression, and a compelling richness and sheer fruit intensity. Dark forest floor notes are only hinted at, although this is almost certain to offer more complexity after allowing it 5-7 years to shut down and recover. (The 2002 Chevret is beguiling today, but Rossingol doesn't think that's what we'll find in a bottle of 2005 at the same age.)Author: David Schildknecht
