Clos des Chênes Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir

'04 a little green

Closed initially but after one hour opened up to be a very good expressive Burgundian

One of the top wines of #ipnc weekend

Awesome. Vibrant and taught.

This took a long time to open but it was outstanding. Silky, with an earthy, tobacco core. Very balanced. Enjoyed at Cave Madeline in Beaune.

15 years old, a big wine that took 24 hours to come back to earth tannins settled fruit invigorated but held together a great burgundy 🙏

2002

firm tannins. well structured. blackberry, black cherry, strawberry.

Gobble gobble.

Nice wooden frame around heavy spice and cherries! Delicious
