The 2009 Volnay Les Pitures comes across as big, rich and also a bit obvious. There is no hiding the personality of the vintage in this super-ripe, opulent Volnay. The Pitures boasts tons of concentration and richness, but it doesn’t have the verve or cut of the finest wines here in 2009, nor are the tannins as refined. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029.
