Notes:

2005 Volnay “Clos des Chenesâ€: By contrast to the toast of the Taillepieds, here the wood is more deftly applied as it is seamlessly integrated on both the nose and the palate, particularly on the rich, full, sweet, intense and powerful flavors where the obvious muscle continues onto the less mineral-infused but with even more impressive raw material. This is flat out superb and it’s remarkable just how different these two wines are from one another yet the vineyards abut. 93/2015+
