Beautiful overt nose of strawberries and cherries quite reminiscent of Rousseau chambertin even (!). Light pale color. Was most enjoyable and look forward to the 12 and 16.

Pale ruby-garnet, orange tinge, very intense nose, smoke, ash, tar, burned earth, herbs in summer aromas. On the palate wow, super concentrated, tar, cherry, herbs with high acidity and tannins, all in perfect balance. The wine is in a perfect place now. Amazing

A private lunch (Restaurant De Leest ***, Vaassen, Netherlands): From plots in Taillepieds and Clos des Chênes, 0.39 ha in total. Very light colour; wonderfully pure and silky, very stylish and elegant, floral and fragrant, has real lift, just a hint of toasty oak, elegant stuffing of ripe fruit, perfectly integrated sweet tannins, ripe acidity and a lovely mineral backbone, perfectly seamless, ripe strawberry fruit, hint of vanilla; very feminine and charming, excellent length. An extremely seductive wine that encapsulates all the finesse that Volnay is capable of. In fact I could have sworn this was an Assmannshäuser... Stunning.

Open at 14:30 for breathing in bottle. Serve at 19:00. Strong nose with cherry, raspberry. Clolour is Clear and transparent. Still too young need to wait 7 to 10 years to matured.
