Le Clos des Chênes Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2016

From a bottle that had been opened earlier in the evening. The 2016 “La Clos des Chênes” pours a ruby color with a slightly watery rim and a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart red fruit: strawberry, cranberry, raspberry, sous bois, red flowers, some animale, mushrooms and fine warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose with a medium+ finish. A Volnay of good character. Drink now through 2036.

Cuvée Particulière Gewürztraminer 2018

Super high levels of acidity (verging on volatile). Off-dry. Floral aromatics—orange blossom, white flowers, slight oxidation. Loads of tropical fruit flavors on the palate and bitter almond skin on the finish. — 6 years ago
