Tasting Notes and Scores
Opening in the glass with notes of plums, wild berries, dark chocolate and potpourri, the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Cave des Ducs is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with powdery tannins that assert themselves on the back end, lively acids and a long, penetrating finish. While this is deceptively extroverted today, I suspect it will need time.

The 2018 Volnay Clos de la Caves des Ducs 1er Cru, which contains 20% whole bunch, has a vivid red currant and raspberry bouquet, turning quite floral in style, though just missing the delineation of some of Leroux’s other cuvées. The tight palate is full of crunchy red fruit but needs more flesh and grip to show through on the finish. Good, but I think it could have been better.
