Pretty good length with a saline , grafite finish . This is showing well now and be at its best over the next 5-8 years , and last a further 10. On Singapore Airlines FRA - SIN — 3 months ago
Pretty typical tasting Chardonnay. Nice balance, the oak isn’t overpowering. Tastes of apple, almond, and vanilla. Nice and enjoyable, but not something I would chase down. — a month ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over a 90 minute period. The 2019 “La Pièce sous le Bois” pours a glossy ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, well…the nose is gorgeous, if not downright sexy. Freshly picked, perfectly ripened strawberries, porchini, forest floor and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and voluptuous. This is very well-made. The fruit is such a star it’s almost as if this could have been from Santa Cruz Mountains. Drinking well now and has the ability to be enjoyed through 2029. — 5 months ago
Wide open. Super juicy red fruit and mint. Buffet makes as good of volnay as anybody in my view. — a month ago
Nose: rich. Still a hint of oak. A bit of minerality peeking through. Yellow flowers. As this opens some pear.
Palate: this is a rich wine. Yellow fruits. Delicious. Framing oak. Magnificent elegant acidity. Perfect acidic balance.
A magnificent richness. — 2 months ago
