graceful texture and superb overall balance

The 2017 is no exception

That linear flinty note is just terrific

Readers will have to be patient with the 2016

Already quite forward

Michel Lafarge, Volnay Clos Chenes other_regions graceful texture and superb overall(from 45+ year old vines that sit just above Champans). A brooding but wonderfully fresh nose mingles notes of various red berries, spice, earth and plenty of floral influences. The sleek, intense and muscular largescaled flavors possess excellent power before culminating in a stony and hugely long finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth. This too is explicitly built for the long haul and is a wine thats going to need at least a decade first.
