The seamless, ruby-colored 2001 Volnay 1er Cru reveals impressive black cherry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, and supple, it has a wonderful satin-textured mouth-feel and a fruit-forward nature. It is rather short, but delivers a fruity, surprisingly friendly personality given what Mother Nature did to Volnay's vineyards. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.
