The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes is firmer and more austere, unwinding in the glass with scents of raspberries, plums and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, with chalky tannins and tangy acids, it will require a bit of patience.

The 2010 Volnay Clos des Chenes comes across as big, powerful and structured. Layers of dark fruit fill out the wine’s muscular frame nicely in this intense, deep Volnay. The 2010 will require patience, but it is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. This is a decidedly masculine style. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2030. The 2010 harvest at Bitouzet-Prieur started on September 25 for the whites and the 26th for the reds. The domaine lost 35% of its production in 2010, echoing an all-too common theme throughout Burgundy. None of the 2010 reds were chaptalized, and the wines were racked once, just after the malos. New oak levels were slightly higher in 2010 as a reflection of lower overall yields, and range from 25-40%. Some of the 2010 reds were bottled in November 2011. Those wines have been assigned final scores. I tasted all of the other 2010 reds from barrel. The wines, still in barrel at the time of my tastings, were scheduled to be bottled between January and March 2012. I also tasted the 2010 Volnay Caillerets, but it was too reduced to accurately evaluate. Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Pine Plains, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990

2010 年的Volnay，是同一層次酒款中的極品，散發(fā)著濃郁的深紅水果、碎石頭及花朵的氣味，質(zhì)地舒服，十分深邃，果香濃郁，十分引人注目，余味優(yōu)雅而又不乏活力。預期熟成時間：2014-2022 年。

The 2009 Volnay Clos des Chenes is a bit cooler and more inward than the Taillepieds despite boasting considerable volume itself. The fruit takes on considerable darkness and richness as the wine sits in the glass. Menthol, spices, intense minerals, licorice and freshly cut flowers wrap around the huge, implosive finish. The Clos des Chenes is a wine with a bright, bright future. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029. Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Pine Plains, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990

The 2009 Volnay is beginning to show the very earliest signs of aromatic development, yet maintains gorgeous focus and clarity from start to finish. Hints of sweet tobacco, spices and licorice add complexity to the generous fruit in this pretty entry-level Volnay. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
