Nice nose after a two hour decant, cherry, earth, well-integrated oak. Got more spicy with air, maybe allspice? Palate was a bit linear and primary, but with a lot of acid. Nice mineral line on the palate throughout the evening, but seemed to make a turn for the better after several hours.

On opening and after 45 min decant this showed strawberry, red cherry and vanilla, a pale ruby colour, very light bodied with a strong line of acidity that felt slightly out of balance and lacking in finesse. A bit tart and not sufficiently integrated. Day 2 and 3 showed improvement with more powerful cherry notes coming to the fore, sweet vanilla, layers of wood and hints of nutmeg.

Light body. Spice and syrupy fruit on the nose and palate. A bit tart, tight and acidic including into the finish. Lacking in complexity. I’ve had better semi regionals from Drouhin than this volnay village.

Pleasant red fruit flavors with medium + acidity. Elegant if somewhat straightforward.

This is a good one. I find it layered and elegant in style.
