Domaine Reyane & Pascal Bouley, Clos des Chenes, Vonlay 1er Cru, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Volnay 1er Cru 2010

Oaky, mineral nose; firm, generous wine, ample fruit and firm structure, crisply ripe, moderately complex, good length, but long term and chewy in character.

Tasting: Volnay 1er Cru 2010

Robust colour with violet rim. Well-concentrated summer fruits on the nose, still a bit raw and green on the palate, oak and tannins really quite dominant and these need to blend in for the precise fruit to show.

Tasting: Volnay 1er Cru 2010

Muted, blurry and slightly volatile nose, confirmed on the palate. some fruit, but overwhelmed by mean and quite present tannins. green and slightly cooked and volatile on finish.
