A private lunch (Restaurant Le Soufflot, Meursault, France): From Taillepieds and Clos des Chênes, bottled January 2023 with the chèvre à deux becs. No stems this year. Light and elegant, beautifully defined red and blue berry fruit, floral lift and a whiffs of undergrowth and sweetness from the wood, aromatic and fresh, toute en delicatesse (12.5% ABV), creamy texture and minerally energy, percaline tannins, exciting interplay of ripe fruit, tannins and acidity on the long finish.

This is jumping right out of the glass, with notes of super pure red fruit, strawberries, minerality, violets, also a touch of smoke, christmas spices. It's medium bodied, with some lower-medium tannin and pretty high acidity. Pretty long finish. A very pretty Volnay that is more about finesse and elegance than power. Really nice.

Bin ja kein grosser Pinot-Fan aber das kann dann schon was. Sehr helles/funkelndes Rubinrot. Rotbeerige Nase (ja, leider Erdbeeren aber auch Amarenakirsche, Himbeere), Wiesenblumen. Am Gaumen superelegant und toll balanciert, seidige Textur, wieder rotbeerig. Feinst geschliffene Tannine, ein toll gemachter, grosser Wein.

Seems a lot simpler than it should. Well balanced but not that exciting.
