(WA91-93 points) The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des 60 Ouvrées, the domaine's 2.39-hectare monopole planted between 1954 and 1987, has a degree of transparency on the nose: blackberry and briary, cold flint and limestone, perhaps a touch of sea spray here. The definition is commendable. The palate is well balanced with supple tannin, very fine acidity and cohesion; it is a little high-toned compared to some of its peers, but with ample freshness and tension struck through the multi-layered finish. This is sure to be a long term Volnay. - Neal Martin
