Note di degustazione
The 2016 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has an exquisitely defined bouquet with pure red cherry mixed with crushed strawberry, disarming mineralité and tension. The palate is beautifully balanced, symmetrical even, with a fine bead of acidity, well integrated new oak, a little fleshiness towards the finish, simply everything you could desire from a Volnay. Stunning. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting in Burgundy.

(24 hectoliters per hectare): Bright medium red. Captivating perfume of cherry, raspberry, minerals and flowers. Wonderfully generous yet light on its feet, conveying terrific sappy energy and aromatic lift to its red fruit and spice flavors. Quite tactile on the back end, which features firm but sweet tannins and superb spicy persistence. This wonderfully scented wine has the structure for a long life in bottle.
The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes, without doubt, has the most seductive bouquet from Domaine Lafarge: ample red cherry and wild strawberry fruit, suggestions of eucalyptus just underneath. It has wonderful delineation—crystalline. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, firm in the mouth with very good structure, a delicate sprinkling of cracked black pepper furthering the complexity on the long finish. What a cerebral Volnay and what a delicious mouthful of Volnay this is going to be.
