The 2002 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs has meliorated since I last tasted it back in 2010. Here, it has a really quite entrancing bouquet, that transparency intact but the fruit enhanced with time: strawberry and red currant, almost a "flinty" mineralité underneath. The palate is very poised and has gained a little complexity, linear and regal. It has a crystalline finish, graceful and effervescent with touch of orange zest lingering on the aftertaste. Excellent.
