Champans Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Duck Dinner tonight!!

More secondary than bottle from January. That one had more density and lift. Tight for a while then mature. fruit comes through Floral. Spicy finish.

Mag

A pretty wine with plenty of floral notes on both the nose and palate but just missing a little presence and depth on the palate to lift it to a higher level.

Very nice with excellent red fruit and nice forest-floor earthiness.

Delish

Succulent and still young. Tannins are starting to fade but the fruit is still very primary blue-black spectrum.

char, floral, mineral, feminine and elegant. High acidity and medium tannins. Almost Nebbiolo to my nose between the tar and the roses. Took a good while to get there but was very fine once it did.
