This is a silkier, more elegant vintage of the Chapelle, at least relative to the 2010, which was really in my zone, as well as the 2009, which I found over-the-top, but in both cases I think there was more stuffing there than here. This would've shown better if I'd opened it with white meat or even fish or something else where a lightweight presence and loose-knit structure is called for. It's an excellent wine in that idiom but lacks some of the solidity and grip it has offered in other years. It's not imbalanced at all, and the trademark stony mineral flavors are still here, it's just a slimmer version of its usual self. — 10 years ago
Deep, heady, dizzying nose of strawberry compote, cherry liquer, sandalwood, maybe some eucalyptus, and other exotic woods.
palate also brings damp earth, light rose , and a slight sanguine note. More muscular Than I would have expected out of a volnay. But at the same time precise and fresh with energizing acidity creating a nervy tension. Sensational
I should mention that it needed considerable time. Started off very floral and strawberry but somewhat one dimensional. Several hours later was a different wine

Earth, sweet strawberry, floral, leather, clove, acid keeps it fresh tasting, light in texture. I would drink up — 11 years ago
Smokey leather and raspberry, velvety smooth on the palate. A hint of oak in the nose. — 7 years ago
Excellent example of Burgundian Chardonnay. Floral, apples, lemon, some flint, and excellent minerality with balanced oak underneath exhibiting a bit of butter and vanilla. Full on the palate, but excellent acidity. And this is their village wine! — 8 years ago
Unusually earthy for a Bordeaux — 9 years ago
Nice peppery kick without any jammy sweetness. Great deal for the quality. — 10 years ago
And on the 3rd day it showed the best — 11 years ago
Damn. Best in show, price wise. Not necessarily the wine everyone understands straight away, but to me it's pretty much ten on ten — 11 years ago
