The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes offers up aromas of plummy fruit, candied peel and smoky grilled meats, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny palate that's pure and melting this year, concluding with a stony finish. It's a pretty middle-weight Clos des Chênes that will drink well in its comparative youth.

Light reduction knocks down the underlying fruit but I doubt that it will last. There is again excellent energy to the textured and stony medium weight flavors that are not particularly dense but I really like the excellent depth and length. This is impressive because while it's no monster of concentration, it's beautifully well-balanced and should reward a decade plus of cellaring.

Mid crimson, with notable power on the nose. Not quite in focus but with a lot to offer still. The fruit develops very well, a fair amount of oak, not so much structure behind. Bottled with a DIAM 30 organic closure.
