Hits all the right Provençal notes. Tart strawberries, white florals, and white pepper. Features nice acid and also a well rounded mouthfeel. Tasty, satisfying juice. — 9 years ago

Next up is Volnay. Village-level from Giroud. This bottle makes me amazed at how the color of wine from the same grape can vary so much between nearby villages. This wine is bright red (like diluted oxygenized blood) and although the nose is full of typical PN notes of warm strawberries and raspberries, some forest and stable aromas, and new oak - it has de/light/ful freshness and flowery perfumed scent and aftertaste. Tannins are silky and small and acid level skyhigh and fresh. Perhaps a little too much oak for my taste but a very nice experience. The wine complemented quite well the assortment of italian sausages and kaltbach cheese. Freddy Kempf -- on a long Steinway sounding off Busoni's arrangement of Bach's Chaconne -- tied the knot of a perfect cellar moment. Cheers! — 10 years ago

As expected, not as much fruit as the 2010 but still silky and balanced with a long, complex finish. — 11 years ago

If you like Pinot this is good. Nice fruit and a little sweetness on the nose, good backbone of acidity and persistent finish — 8 years ago

Nice gold-straw color. Nose is a little obscure at cellar temp but light citrus and tropical fruit really shine as the wine warms a bit. Bright acidity on the tongue Great mouthfeel-- almost chardonnay like. A lot of Malo for an Alsace which makes the wine a little heavy. Would go great with any white fish. In my opinion, aged just right. — 8 years ago

2012... In the Peter Michael style. Oaky and flamboyant, with peach, pear and lemon. For those who like the style, a good Chard for $36 list price. I need to check out their single vineyard Chards in light of this. — 11 years ago
