Tasting notes
Outstanding Top value. This is aromatically similar to the straight Volnay but with more evidence spice and floral elements. There is outstanding intensity to the dense and powerful flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the impressively long, balanced and firmly structured finale. This is absolutely terrific for its level and easily boxes above its weight.

The 2020 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionées is even better, wafting from the glass with deep fruit tones evocative of plums and raspberries, complemented by hints of raw cocoa, loamy soil and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and seamless, with lively acids and a long, penetrating finish.
10% new oak, from vineyards just below the premiers crus. Cask sample. Mid-ruby; quite silken at first but definite structure. (MH)
