2016 Volnay Villages Henri Boillot

(from equally sized parcels in both Rugiens Hauts and Bas that measure ~1 ha). A very pure extract of red pinot fruit-suffused nose is liberally cut with earth and rose petal hints that are also trimmed in just enough wood to remark upon. The rich, full-bodied and tautly muscular medium weight plus flavors have an abundance of mouth coating extract that helps to buffer the prominent supporting tannins that make clear that an extended period of cellar time will be required if you wish to see this mineral-driven beauty at its peak. 2031+

(an assemblage of multiple parcels): Healthy bright red. Less obviously open on the nose than the Bourgogne, conveying an element of medicinal reserve to its red fruit and floral aromas. Suave and fine-grained in the mouth, offering good energy and definition to its flavors of red fruits, licorice, flowers and menthol. A subtle, classically dry Volnay with lovely saline persistence.
