The 2013 Volnay 1er Cru is a blend of two parcels in the lieux-dits, Les Pitures Dessus and Mitans, that can sometimes include fruit from young vines elsewhere, though not in 2013. It has a clean and pure, perfumed black cherry and wild-strawberry bouquet with fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins, good acidity and with just a touch of sinew on the finish that should soften by the time of bottling. I would like to see this put on just a little more flesh by the time of bottling.
