Loads of red fruits are intermingled with candied blood oranges in the profound aromas of the 2002 Volnay Clos du Chateau des Ducs. This suave, medium-bodied wine displays a densely-packed core of red cherries, raspberries, and strawberries in its wonderfully ripe character. Its long, fruit-filled finish reveals copious quantities of tannin that demand patience. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2017.
