Estimate
...lush and seamless in the middle, but with very good acidity framing and lifting the black fruit and game flavors. The powerful, rising finish features building tannins and a distinct thick-skinned character.
...cool, pure and energetic flavors that seemed fashioned from nothing but silk and satin, all wrapped in a delicate, refined and beautifully balanced finish. This is a classic Chevret of matchless finesse.
Bone dry – no wallowing in gentle sweet fruit here – but it may well have more longevity than most 2011 Volnays. Ambitious certainly!
