Noticeable but not dominant wood influence fights a bit with the otherwise, fresh, cool, airy and ripe raspberry liqueur, plum and floral aromas. The reserved and moderately austere medium weight flavors exude a fine minerality that continues onto the powerful, linear and lingering finish. Like the Grèves, this is also quite compact and not showing much today yet it's clear that there is excellent underlying material and the balance should enable this to age exceptionally well. Sweet spot Outstanding.

Good bright, full red. Scented aromas of raspberry, licorice and blood orange accented by herbs and spices. Perfumed and high-pitched in the mouth, with taut, intense flavors of red berries, rose petal, spices and herbs. Sappy, sharply delineated Volnay with a long, rising, mineral-driven finish. Already offers great appeal owing to its juiciness but this is built to reward aging. 92+
