Tasting notes
Light cherry red. Better balanced than the Volnay En Chevret. Much more fruit at the core but not worth the money. Obviously needs time but even so. (JH)

A little deeper in crimson, approaching ruby. The complex nose offers slightly darker fruit, a briary note, and a little new oak. The most volume of fruit among the Volnays, plus that slightly more regal touch to the fruit, which covers the bone structure completely. Good acidity behind. Promising.
