Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Bousse d'Or clearly had the superior set of aromatics on this peer-group flight - impressive delineation and sense of pinoté here - the oak nicely assimilated with a brightness and vitality that sticks out vis-à-vis others. The palate is fresh and vibrant with fine, supple tannin and well-judged acidity, just a hint of balsamic infusing the red berry fruit, a gentle build to a satisfying finish. This is an excellent Volnay in the context of that challenging growing season.

(the crop level here was just 17.5 hectoliters per hectare, according to Patrick Landanger): Good full red. Reduced nose offers scents of wild strawberry, meat and duck rillettes , plus a whiff of coffee. Rich, sweet and fat but with bright integrated acdity and a mineral firmness giving the wine a slight toughness today on the back end. Seriously tannic and in need of patience.
Dark red-ruby. Black cherry, raspberry, mocha, licorice and earth on the ripe nose. Then juicy and penetrating on the palate, with ripe acidity framing the raspberry, spice and soil flavors. Nicely sweet and rich Volnay, and vibrant on the finish. This already shows a lot of personality. Patrick Landanger started harvesting on September 2 in 2011.
