"Black currant and black cherry flavors are enmeshed in the dense matrix of this red
lavender and assorted white orchard fruit
velvety and immensely concentrated
The palate is exquisitely defined
Lafarge Volnay Clos du Chateau des Ducs 2020 750mL Size:750mL Dec 2008: From the Pritchard"The 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Clos du Chteau des Ducs is liable to overshadow even the emblematic Clos des Chnes this year. Offering up a profound bouquet of blackberries, sweet spices, rose petals, orange rind, summer truffles and forest floor, it's medium to full bodied, velvety and immensely concentrated, with lively acids, abundant but almost imperceptible tannins and a long, saline finish."
