Score 87/100 · Drink 2019-2027, Neal Martin, Nov 2018

The 2015 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has quite a lot of reduction on the nose, which is rather smudged and difficult to read at the moment. The palate is chewy and structured and a little disjointed, with an assertive but graceless finish. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

(vinified with about 20% whole clusters): Moderately saturated medium red. Sexy, musky aromas of fresh, ripe strawberry, raspberry, menthol and licorice. Quite penetrating for the vintage, with its touch of sweetness effortlessly carried by firm acidity cooling menthol and underlying minerality. This very sexy wine finishes firm and long, with a solid tannic spine and an element of saline complexity. Really spreads out on the end to dust the entire palate and vibrate.

Fresh and bright on the nose, but tannic and thin on the palate. Lacks the luxurious flesh of the vintage – and appellation. (RH)
