Details
Volnay 1er Cru, Clos des Ducs--Vintage 2009
Côte de Beaune. Domaine-bottled: D'Angerville
In original wooden case
Tasting note: The 2009 Volnay Clos Des Ducs is the only wine in this lineup that is playing its cards close to the vest. Weightless yet powerful, the Clos des Ducs impresses for its striking balance and poise. There is so much going on in the glass its hard to know where to start. Floral notes meld into hints of liquorice, sweet red cherries and mint in this crystalline, totally gorgeous Volnay. Today the tannins are impossibly firm, so readers will have to be patient. This is far from an easygoing 2009. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029. eRobertParker.com #200. April 2012
