Note di degustazione
The 1999 premier cru Volnay courtesy of Michel Lafarge is a beautiful Pinot Noir. Slightly paler in color compared to other 1999 Burgundies, it has an ethereal bouquet that is utterly entrancing: fleeting hints of peppermint, Morello cherries and plum, the summer warmth seeping through. The palate is medium-bodied with an appealing fleshy entry, nicely judged acidity and an elegant finish that does not short change you on flavor. This feels as if it is peaking now, but I suspect it will continue giving pleasure over the next decade. Drink now-2024. Tasted January 2014.

This is the blend of premier cru fruit bottled by the famous domaine but this particular bottle was a bit tough and sludgy. (JR)
Bright ruby-red. Fine aromas of raspberry, cherry and licorice, along with a floral topnote. Fat, lush and sweet, with strong fruit. A solid, chunky wine that finishes with substantial ripe tannins. I picked up a trace of heat.
