Burghound, 93 Points 

"A more floral and elegant nose freely offers up its slightly riper array of plum, black cherry and exotic spice nuances. The lilting and beautifully detailed middleweight flavors deliver outstanding length on the balanced, youthfully austere and stony finale. This doesn't presently have quite the same depth as the Clos l'Audignac but the texture is more sophisticated and overall, this is class in a glass. *Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*" 

Winemaker Notes: 

"This walled monopole vineyard is located next to the Volnay town hall. A quarter of vines was planted in 1958; the rest in the late 1960s and 1970s. Hand-harvested. Destemmed and fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature controlled tanks. Aged in French barrique (30% new) for 15 months. Unfined and unfiltered.   Aromas of black cherries, dark chocolate, warm leather, minerals. Fine-grained, precise and juicy; tangy red fruit blends with notes of wildflowers and minerals." 

Alcohol: 13%
