"The 2016 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a really quite beautiful bouquet, very expressive with hints of blackcurrant pastille behind the veneer of red fruit. The palate is sweet on the entry with sappy red fruit laced with Moroccan spice. There is more depth and grip than the Champans with a sappy finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent!"
