2017 Volnay Clos des Chenes

From tiny 0.12ha plot of well positioned vines. Quite soft and inviting, fragrant and perfumed – not as full and hard as Clos de Chenes can often be straight after bottling. Rounded and bright, showing delicious sweet cherry fruit, plum and strawberry. Raspy and energetic on the palate, with a fine tannic backbone. This can be enjoyed soon, but structured and balanced enough to reward patience. Fresh and pure. Some minerality. Perfumed, surprisingly rounded with no hard edges. Very lovely indeed.
