The violet and blueberry-scented 2002 Volnay Champans exhibits gorgeous breadth to its fat, rich personality. Medium-bodied, plush, intense and deeply ripe, it slathers the palate with stones drenched in candied cherries. Its lengthy finish reveals the requisite structure for aging. Projected maturity: 2008-2016.
