Thursday, June 24, 2010 - South part of the village. This is one parcel of 30 year old vines. 80% new oak "or so". Normally it would be about 30% but they really felt like 07 could use the oak, or something like that I guess.
Again, and as in the Volany, the oak is wonderfully handled -- emphasizing the spice character of the Pinot but not overwhelming it. Tight now, but not shut down. Drinking well, of course can last.
