Volnay in a brawnier style, with a violet nose and spicy flavor. This wine might benefit from another couple of years in the cellar, as it’s still somewhat closed.

Very different from the 02, 05 vintages. Much more Gamay like with black fruit but almost grape juice like with violets and lavender much like a Neuveau Gamay. Very good for a village level wine but not for a premier cru. Will see how it develops through the evening.

Cherry brandy, Spring flowers, peppery spice, and granite — medium body. Solid, not quite to a fault, but here’s hoping time brings a lighter touch.

Good sappy, spicy, balanced pinot. A wee bit uninspiring and lacking in nuance, but solid and juicy, imminently drinkable.

Nice fresh, juicy, glaceed fruit '09. Refreshing and minerally balances glaceed dark fruit. A crushed pumice note, clove, cassis.
