Friday, December 19, 2014 - A private lunch (Restaurant De Leest ***, Vaassen, Netherlands): From plots in Taillepieds and Clos des Chênes, 0.39 ha in total. Very light colour; wonderfully pure and silky, very stylish and elegant, floral and fragrant, has real lift, just a hint of toasty oak, elegant stuffing of ripe fruit, perfectly integrated sweet tannins, ripe acidity and a lovely mineral backbone, perfectly seamless, ripe strawberry fruit, hint of vanilla; very feminine and charming, excellent length. An extremely seductive wine that encapsulates all the finesse that Volnay is capable of. In fact I could have sworn this was an Assmannshäuser... Stunning.
