A solid Volnay; first time drinking Chevrets for me which is on the border with Meursault; initially had a bit of oakiness on the nose, but this blew off after about 45 min; after that ripe cherry and rasperry, fresh and floral, some minerality coming out later. Solid if not great depth, a little raspy on the finish, but good with food. Good, but not great.

This is drinking well. No nose that I can discern . Great acidity, lovely red fruit / jammy flavours that give this wine good length. There is a freshness to this wine due to the acidity. A slight dryness from the tannins. Just starting to reveal its capabilities. Very enjoyable at this early stage. I believe this will soften and get fatter and more complex with time. A well made wine.

This was the mystery wine at the tasting. Fruit was quite intense. Lots of acid. Balanced. Much more approachable than the younger wines tasted.

Classic Volnay although still drinking young. Fresh red fruits but could benefit from another 5 years of cellaring time.
