Olivier Leflaive, Clos des Angles, Vonlay 1er Cru, Burgundy, 2010

Tasting: Volnay 1er Cru 2010

Closed but quite fine to smell; medium full, but with the year’s acidity dominant to taste – lean overall, some finesse, as on the nose, but lacks ripeness, flesh and charm – also a bit oak-dry in texture; medium length.

Tasting: Volnay 1er Cru 2010

Good colour, youthful rim. Nicely concentrated red fruits on the nose, good clear and clean fruit on the palate, still a little tight and green on the finish, but will smooth out to show character in the less robust style.

Tasting: Volnay 1er Cru 2010

Blurred red fruit nose with new oak, slightly muddy on the palate, with a hint of green. Mildly aggressive acidity, fruit muted, but medium, fine tannins and some persistence on the slighty woody finish.
