Drunk over four nights and at its best on nights 3 and 4 when it had fully uncoiled. Really lovely notes of green apple, citrus, white stone fruit, pineapple, honey, mint, white flowers, and slatey minerals. Quite special. Took a bit of time to open up, really coming together by night 2 when the balance was en pointe. Drink now if you can let this sit open and breathe for hours, or better still, a day.

A lovely clean, young, and vibrant Volnay that was consumed over 3 nights. On night 1, ripe raspberry, pomegranate and a twist of blood orange were the predominant flavours. On the following days floral and savoury notes of raspberry leaf, forest floor joined the party. Lithe, supple, juicy and pretty. It’s open now with fairly light and inviting tannins, but there is excellent and focus which suggests this will evolve nicely over the next decade.

Sealed under diam. Fairly light gold-green colour, with citrus zest, orchard fruit, vanilla, and some hazelnut. There is a nice round texture to the palate, which is balanced by a zesty, minerally acidity. Drinking well already but has the stuffing to develop well over 10 years.
