Note di degustazione
The 2018 Volnay Clos de la Cave is showing beautifully in bottle, and Bouley observes that the fact that—despite its prime exposition—this site is in the shade by around 6 p.m. every evening complements its calcium-rich soils to lend it a notably ethereal profile. Wafting from the glass with scents of sweet berries, peonies, mandarin rind, raw cocoa and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and perfumed, with a bright spine of acidity, refined tannins and a lively, mineral finish.

Mid crimson. Peppery and dark-fruited, at the restrained end of the scale but opens up to lovely fragrance of red fruits and whole bunch. Chewy, smooth tannins. The acidity seems quite soft but the wine is remarkably fresh. (JH)
The 2018 Volnay Clos de la Caves, which contains 50% whole clusters, offers raspberry and strawberry scents laced with briar on the nose, quite pastille-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, moderate acidity and pretty red fruit but missing some complexity toward the slightly confit-like finish.
