A slightly more refined nose speaks of red berry fruit that is liberally laced with notes of cassis and blue berry while introducing rich and even more elegant medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a firm, long and serious finish that possesses real verve. This beauty should amply reward a decade of cellar time.

The 2009 Volnay Clos de la Bousse d'Or presents a wild, almost unrestrained expression of Volnay. It is a sumptuous wine graced with stunning beauty in its opulent fruit. This shows marvelous detail and clarity with palate staining intensity. Despite its richness, there is plenty of vibrancy and freshness. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2049.

Bright ruby-red. Tighter on the nose than the Caillerets, offering black fruits, licorice, violet and bitter chocolate; "a typical intellectual, feminine Volnay," notes Landanger. Then suave and gentle in the mouth, if a bit less dense and large than the Caillerets. There's a slightly high-toned character to the fruit-driven flavors of liqueur-like black cherry, dark berries and flowers. Perhaps a bit less middle here to support the tannins, but this offers excellent potential.
