By contrast with the Clos de la Cave, Bouley's 2018 Volnay Vieilles Vignes is richer and more muscular, delivering aromas of smoky plums, rich soil tones, licorice and cassis. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, it's fleshy and broad-shouldered, with an enveloping attack but plenty of tannic structure, too. As I noted last year, this derives from vines that see all-day sun and little in the way of breeze, located below premier cru Carelles.
