Note di degustazione
Some rusticity could be detected in the finish of the violet and dark fruit-scented 2002 Volnay Clos des Chenes (domaine). Medium-bodied and firm, this is a wine that may benefit from cellaring. Its character reveals excellent depth to its black fruit, spice, and flower-dominated flavor profile. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2014? Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 888-7575

Even riper though again, this stops well short of surmaturité with intense crushed black fruit aromas preceding racier and more precise flavors blessed with a mineral-infused, very fresh and sweet finish. As with the Caillerets, this is exquisitely balanced and curiously for such a ripe wine, there is a most attractive reserved coolness to it. Stylish in every respect and this is quite simply a gorgeous wine and highly recommended.
Deep ruby-red. Superripe aromas of cherry, currant and plum, with a vibrant note of cracked pepper. Dense and juicy but rather folded in on itself; cool, nicely delineated blackberry and mint flavors. Finishes youthfully backward, with firm but fine tannins. Has plenty of substance to reward five or six years of aging.
Cask sample. Sweet, scented, and charming. Lots of flesh and roundness. One of the more opulent Bouchard Père et Fils Côte de Beaunes. A charmer, though definitely a 2002. (JR)
