Score 90-92/100 · Drink 2007, Pierre Rovani, Oct 1999
The light to medium ruby-colored Volnay Clos du Chateau des Ducs has a fabulous nose of candied cherries, and red and black fruit syrups. On the palate, it exhibits marvelous breadth, a medium to full body, sublime elegance, structure, and a floral, black cherry-dominated flavor profile. It is extremely flavorful, soft, and immensely enjoyable. Drink it over the next 6-8 years. A Becky Wasserman Selection / Le Serbet; French Fax: 011-33-3-80-24-29-70, various American importers.
