Note di degustazione
Deep crimson. Smoky dark fruits. Oaky but not overly so. Dark and spicy. Very savoury on the palate, firm and dry. Not in the least charming but has a 'masculine' savoury dark appeal. The oak flattens the fruit a bit, for the moment at least. (JH)

The 2018 Volnay Vieilles Vignes comes from vines just below Les Carelles on red soils in a warm microclimate. It has an attractive bouquet of red cherries, raspberry and orange blossom aromas, plus a touch of undergrowth that emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a candied opening. This is a very sweet Volnay with kirsch and touches of fig toward the spicy, black-pepper-tinged finish. Enjoyable, if not the most intellectual of all the Volnays I tasted on my visits.
