Wanted to like this, being the third of the six purchased, however the lack of Volnay aromatics and mouthfeel are simply too much not to overlook. Nose of mineral and rose hips, plus a bit of oak. Just lacking that balance, finesse, and suppleness I enjoy in Volnay. Maybe this is a bit young, so I will hold off a bit on the final three bottles for a bit. Similar to other 2011's we have been drinking, ok for the vintage.

I am trying to like this bottle, however the brett is so overwhelming as to overpower any fruit and nose that may have been present. An hour after opening it only gets worse. Sorry - cannot recommend this. I am sure there are those that may enjoy this wine, but not me.

2016 Domaine Huber-Verdereau Volnay des Fremiets aux Robardelles

Sorry, VA dominates. Very clipped nose. Bitter mid-palate. Menthol. Not a Volnay as far as I am concerned.
