The sublime Volnay Clos Des Chenes possesses a dark ruby/purple color, as well as intense aromatics of black cherries, flowers and coffee. This full-bodied and viscous wine offers an amazingly deep, highly extracted and concentrated mouthful of cassis, blackberries and violets. Its exceptionally long finish with soft, ripe tannins tapers off after 45 seconds. Drink it between 2003-2009. As always, ratings with a score in parentheses indicate the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. A Patrick Lesec Selection (Paris Fax # 011-33-1-42-84-38-22), various American importers.
