Tasting notes
(just a bit of vendange entier here): Good full red. Sexy aromas of smoky red fruits. Smooth and seamless, with a suave inner-mouth aromatic quality and a medicinal nuance to the raspberry fruit. Showing much more energy today than the comparatively heavy 2012 version. Lovely juice.

(from a vineyard next to Volnay Chevret, but planted on a steeper slope and on a higher percentage of limestone; just 5% vendange entier): Bright full red. Stony pungency to the aromas and flavors of redcurrant, tobacco and minerals, along with a suggestion of cotton candy. Silky and seamless in the mouth, but also boasts excellent volume and concentration. Comes across as elegant and gentle but at the same time dense and firmly structured, which sounds like Volnay to me. Finishes with substantial dusty, building tannins.
