From a parcel at the northern border of the climat, touching Taillepieds, comes the 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated wine evocative of sweet red berries, spices, raw cocoa and forest floor. Built around bright acids and velvety tannins, it's a fine effort.
A discreetly perfumed nose reluctantly offers up its cool and pure aromas of spiced plum, black raspberry and pretty floral nuances, especially violet. There is even better size, weight and mid-palate density to the more mineral-inflected flavors that culminate in a youthfully austere and relatively powerful finish. This needs to develop more depth but that should occur if allowed sufficient time in bottle. This is well-worth checking out provided you intend to cellar it for at least 7 to 8 years first.
