Boillot's 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Les Chevrets offers up an attractive nose of creamy red cherry, spice and asphalt, followed by a medium to full-bodied, firm but elegant palate with a core of attractively juicy, crunchy fruit. A very nice Volnay 1er Cru.
Good bright, full red. Very pure scents of cherry, dark raspberry, licorice, spicy oak and flowers, plus noteworthy mineral pungency for the year. Suave and showy in the mouth, with flavors of redcurrant, spices and flowers given punch by terrific saline minerality. The wine's density is leavened by excellent acidity. This premier cru is showing considerable early personality but has the stuffing to age gracefully. Finishes with firm but nicely buffered tannins and a brisk touch of pepper from vinification with a portion of the stems.
Vibrant red fruit with a dark chocolate character and something like olive or juniper. Juicy, refreshing with astute bitterness that complements the cherry flavours perfectly. (RH)
