Tasting notes
The 2020 Volnay Clos de la Cave des Ducs 1er Cru felt just a little smudged compard to its peers on the nose, some warmth of alcohol here. The palate is plush and rounded, very sweet and ripe, good structure, though it needs more finesse on the finish.

The 2020 Volnay Clos de la Cave des Ducs 1er Cru felt just a little smudged compard to its peers on the nose, some warmth of alcohol here. The palate is plush and rounded, very sweet and ripe, good structure, though it needs more finesse on the finish.
One of the darker purple colours, and the nose shows a certain concentrated ripeness, not quite as complete as Santenots in terms of fruit volume, but it has retained its usual elegance and length. Some whole bunch suggestion, though Benjamin does not use a lot.�
