Francois Buffet, Volnay Clos Chenes Vintage:2017NA

Fabulous Rioja gran reserva

vibrant and more refined medium weight flavors possess an attractive texture thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that buffers the moderately firm tannins on the slightly more complex and sneaky long finale

earth and anise plus a waft of cedar chest

Then flavors similar to the aromas

it gives up exotic scents of smoke

This offers especially good quality for its level and is recommended

it is fresh and elegant and from a cooler (more Atlantic) vintage with more rain than the average and a relatively late harvest between September 28th and October 12th

reine claude (greengage) and elderflower

Rose petals

Smoke and vanilla frame huge blackberry and cassis fruit on the nose

with good concentration

(100% from vines in Aloxe and all domaine fruit)
