Fresh nose, dried cherry, raspberry, rose petals, some tannin, medium body, nice balance and good finish.

first bottle corked. Second ok but not a great wine. Drying finish and not smooth like Volnay. Average.

Pretty wine, fair slug of tannins and oak, well-fruited, needs lots more time—which sure surprised me.

What a bouquet of aroma! An airy intro followed by earthy and berry rush.

Black fruit aromas with a hint of earth and some oak. Plums, black currants and iron hit the palate. If served blind I would be hard-pressed to guess Volnay.


A powerful wine but not very Volnay like.
