Nice wine and over delivers for village des. Limpid and flawless safe zone from a less than inspired suburban version of Bouley. — 6 years ago

Röda äpplen, honung, nougat, mogna citroner, kex och vissa gräsiga/örtiga undertoner. Tydliga snäckskal och fin mineralitet. Öppnar knastrigt i texturen men övergår snabbt åt klunkvänliga håller. Stora glas för denna! — 7 years ago

Nose is a little toasty oak, blueberry juice, and blackberry.

Palate has oak-like cherry but very restrained on woody aspects, mid-season supermarket cherry, ripe plum, red raspberry, blackberry, TBD mineral, perfect acid levels!

I want to drink everything I have at this level, decanted for over one hour and this is absolutely perfect, nothing in the way of enjoyment. Pierrick Bouley is genius.

24hr Update: Nice giant (size-wise, not overpowering, the large sized berries have a more subtle flavor) blueberry flavor. Oak is more noticeable today, but not obtrusive to the red/blue fruits, a gentle compliment, perfect today. — 7 years ago

Not as soft as I was hoping. Perhaps she needs a bit more time. Was expecting some Volnay sultry action but this was a bit more closed, tight. — 9 years ago

Just a joyous wine made from ridiculously low yields that has wonderful depth. Crazy depth for its category. Wow. What it lacks in finesse it makes up for in palate impact. Nose is cherry and leafy, palate is concentrated, high toned cherry, sour cherry, mid season cherry and black cherry and super sap and freshness. Tiny berry fruit intensity. Wow. — 6 years ago

Insanity on the nose. Just bonkers. Sickness. Huge spice. Huge I mean huge spice. Also super mineral and very pure. Confectionary cotton candy like aromas and tree bark. Also tea. Maybe hoisin as well. Mindblowing. Big palate and immense power but incredibly elegant. It has Grand Cru grip and intensity and it is considered the best wine at the estate. Better than Clos des Chenes. It is insanely powerful and stacked to the brim with bright fruit and mineral that has sap, and really stains the palate. I think in 2 hours this will be insane. It’s changing every minute. What a wine. — 7 years ago

Candied red fruit and orange peel, a bit of fresh sawdust and baking spice. Licorice and a touch of plasticene. An almost unctuous mouthfeel with great acidity and fine tannins. Will be great in a decade. If any of us survive the next four years. — 9 years ago

This is insanely great. In warm vintages I find Volnay and Pommard always delivery. 03/05/09/15. More warm vintages to come! Beautiful nose of tea leaf, earthy loamy minerality, gorgeous deep red cherry fruit that is almost exotic with a hint of licorice. Amazing fruit on this nose. But also really complex. Stunning. Fresh, elegant and beautifully balanced with ripe fruit but also cleansing acidity, some grippy tannin and big time depth. Amazingly fine tannins as it airs out. Like velvet. Stunning. I can’t believe how great this is. Will last 20 more years. — 7 years ago
