Score 89+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2005

Medium red. High-toned aromas of raspberry, mint and licorice. Larger-scaled but less pliant than the village wine, with lovely elegance but distinctly restrained sweetness of fruit. Finishes with very suave tannins. I like this style.

Score 89-92/100 · Drink 2007-2016, Pierre Rovani, Jun 2004

Loads of spices and black cherries can be found in the profound aromatic profile of the 2002 Volnay Clos des Chenes. This penetrating wine is packed with admirably ripe yet lively cherries. Pure, detailed, and expressive, it displays a long, structured finish. Projected maturity: 2007-2016. Importers: Various, including Daniel Johnnes/Jeroboam Wines, New York, NY; tel.

Bright, dark red-ruby. Cassis, black cherry and oak on the nose. Rich, sweet and nuanced; very stylish Volnay, with flavors of cherry and chocolate and excellent flesh. Big, rich, chewy finish offers excellent length.
