Volnay, Clos des Ducs, 1er Cru, 2017
A wine that offers pure, unadulterated pleasure. There is no better wine to introduce you to the joys and charm of Volnay. Outgoing but stylish. Offering demure, lush, svelte red berry and victoria plum fruit. The lacy, silken texture is fine and invisible enough to allow the gloriously full fruit to the fore. Caressing, nourishing and satisfying. A big vineyard in the middle of prime Premier Cru Volnay territory on the south side of the village below Taillepieds, well exposed to the south-east. The soil is redder here than higher up the slope. At the top of the vineyard the soil is very rocky but becomes deeper and more clay influenced towards the bottom of the slope, giving some of the most complete Volnays that, despite ageing very well, can be extremely rewarding in youth.
critic reviews
The 2017 Volnay Clos des Ducs 1er Cru is the famous crown jewel monopole of the domaine, ostensibly the rear garden with its own spring. Initially it is showing some reduction on the nose, although it dissipates with aeration. It is certainly reticent at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry. It provides that arching structure that defines this vineyard and gives it its longevity, yet paradoxically the mouth sensation is supple and smooth, with just a touch of spice tingling on the finish. Noble, and aristocratic - just how a Clos des Ducs ought to be.
