Brilliant Volnay From Comtes de Lafon, incredibly expressive fruit without being jammed, light on dark berries, gooseberries, cherry with forest floor and some smoke balancing. Just such a fine warm summer evening breeze in a bottle. Precise acidity preparing a persistent yet fresh finish.

Grand Cru Portfolio Tasting (3/9 Grand Cru Portfolio Tasting, NYC): Whoa! Nose has straight up cookies and asphalt. Damn. Really want some of this. One of the most impressive wines tasted today, along with 2019 Marquis Champans and 2019 Y Clerget Volnay.

Jasper on Terroir: Volnay 1er Cru (67 Pall Mall TV): Old vines, from the 1920s. Lower down on the slope.
Shining ruby. Rich and rounded on the nose, with a hint of vanilla. Creamy and voluptuous on the palate, without being too brassy. Strawberries and cream, classic, then a bitterness of cherry pit on the finish. Again lots of persistence, purity and pleasure. Really pretty, almost haunting.

Relatively dark fruit. Mineral texture.
