Note di degustazione
The 2016 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet of vivacious red cherry, wild strawberry, pressed rose petals and touches of sage and thyme. The palate is very well balanced with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and crescendoing gently to a slightly meaty, delineated, long finish. I suspect this might close down for a few years, but there is huge potential here.

Hint of woodiness on the nose. The fruit is not the purest nor the most expressive. But it has some core and may eventually blossom to dominate the aroma. (JR)
The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru les Champans is the largest of Jean-Pierre Charlot's cuvées this year at fifteen barrels. It offers attractive raspberry and wild strawberry scents on the enticing nose, the oak neatly integrated and the terroir showing through. Some lovely undergrowth scents emerge with time. The palate is well balanced, quite broad-shouldered in style with firm tannin, not quite as nuanced as the Caillerets or Fremiets but at least there is substance and girth on the finish. This is what you might call a solid but delicious Champans.
