Dark, plummy fruit aromas are displayed by the saturated dark ruby-colored 1999 Volnay Clos Des Chenes Cuvee Selectionee. This medium to full-bodied, brambleberry, blueberry, and black cherry-flavored wine has excellent to outstanding depth of fruit, freshness, and balance. Its finish is filled with loads of tannin, yet they are ripe and supple. Projected maturity: 2004-2009. This is a special, unfined and unfiltered selection marketed throughout the world by Patrick Lesec, one of the estate's international representatives.
