Smells like 18! Concentrated and macerated dark cherries. Just so many. Almost jammy but not quite. Some nice leather notes. So much material. Super sleek, refined and concentrated. Bursting with mid to late season cherry fruit and wonderful sap and purity. Showing so well. A big wine but super balanced. Pierrick did a great job in 2018.

Aug 31st, 2023First 2018 Volnay from Pierrick. Terrific. Complex nose of mid to late season cherry, kirsch, really smell the ripeness but also intense stony mineralIty. Deep aromas. Really Volnay and really ethereal. Kirsch really comes out after some air. Palate is stunning. Wow. So deep and chewy. Insane concentration and power with insane sap and purity. Wow. Big furry tannins and some grip on the finish. This will age gloriously. What raw materials these wines have. Long finish echos on the palates
