Note di degustazione
The 2015 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a high-toned and very floral bouquet, coalescing with aeration to offer plump red cherries and wild strawberry fruit. The fresh, vital palate is medium-bodied, featuring blackberry and raspberry flavors and assiduous use of new oak toward the bright, vivacious finish. Certainly one of the better Clos des Chênes among the quintet. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes comes from 2.5 hectares of fine adjacent to Domaine des Comtes-Lafon. Apparently it was important to constantly taste this cuvée to decide the exact moment for de-vatting, and it always the last to be bottled. It has an opulent yet still controlled and delineated bouquet with black fruits, briary, cassis and dried violet petals. The palate is powerful, dense and with a firm grip at the moment, a wine that needs to learn some manners during its élevage. It should do that and the substance suggests that this will be a long-term proposition.
