Tasting Notes and Scores
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. This Volnay Clos du Chateau des Ducs 2011 from Lafarge has a refined bouquet with slightly earthy red berry fruit, and suggestions of bay leaf, tea leaf and bergamot coming through with time, although it seems just a little diffuse compared to its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with delicate red cherry and strawberry fruit. It has fine acidity with a self-effacing, light finish for a Volnay that suggests decent early drinking.

Old calcaire soils and quite brown. Deep gravel on top of calcaire. Not that dark. Aromatic, fresh and gentle. Quite forward. Very charming. Maybe a bit less serious than the Mitans. Glorious already. Very long, suggests there’s a glorious future for this wine too. (JR)
