Note di degustazione
The 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes exhibits aromas of cherries, cassis, dark berries and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied and nicely concentrated, this is fine-grained but firmly tannic, and it will need a bit of bottle age.

Bright cherry red. Like the Bourgogne, lovely scent. Here the fruit smells more red, zippier, with a touch more spice. Tight and fresh on the palate, smooth yet with the tannins to age well even though it has the accessibility of the 2018s. Lovely wine. (JH)
Picked on August 29, earlier than the domaine’s other reds, the 2018 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet of red currant, raspberry and briar, all well defined and focused. The palate is balanced with a fine saline core. Quite robust and structured for a Volnay, but with satisfying precision and grip toward the finish. It should give at least a decade’s worth of drinking pleasure.
