Note di degustazione
The 2011 Volnay bristles with pure energy and class. Dark stone fruits, cloves, crushed rocks and menthol inform a striking, nuanced Volnay long on class. The tense, expressive finish is particularly of note. This is a terrific showing from Henri Boillot.

(the first vintage for this bottling, which is from vineyards Boillot has leased from his neighbor Yvon Clerget): Dark red. Enticing, pure aromas and flavors of black cherry, raspberry, spices and earth, lifted by a floral whiff of peche de vigne. Juicy, suave and light on its feet, offering superb punch for village wine. Finishes quite long, with very fine tannins and subtle lingering perfume. Nothing out of place here!
This is more aromatically reserved with an elegant nose of red and dark pinot fruit, earth and an interesting note of smoked tea. There is even more refinement to the mouth feel of the lightly mineral-infused medium-bodied flavors that possess a dusty and rather serious finish of impeccable balance and persistence. This may be labeled as a villages but it's easily of 1er quality. Tasted: Apr 15, 2013. Drink: 2018+
