Cool black fruit, menthol, minerals. The fruit is pure and linear, and there's good complexity with the menthol and some earthy flavors, but there's a little bit of a lack of material in the midpalate. The finish is austere and a bit tight, suggesting good aging potential, but this drinks remarkably well now for a young Lafarge.

Pretty herbal nose, earth and minerals, confit cherries and raspberries. Peaches.
Elegant on the palate, persistent, slightly bitter on the finish.

Earth, minerals, and dark fruit. Deep and complex. No need to wait on this.

Excellent Volnay, with nice weight (particularly for a 2007), purity, minerality. Really enjoyed it.

Tasting with Frederic Lafarge in Volnay: Wow! Very different: cassis, cerises, menthe; to the hilt - is all I wrote in my notebook. Lot's of stuff.
