Give it another 5 years but classic for vineyard and producer.

Side by side 2009 Volnay Clos des Chene. Interesting test. The Lafarge was rounder and softer and very typical Volnay. Elegant. Claudine’s wine had a few more angles and edges but also terrific. Will do this again in 10 years. I loved both wines.

Bouteille défectueuse ??? Je ne sais pas mais nettement moins bonne que celles bues l'an dernier.
