Michel Lafarge, Volnay Clos Chenes Vintage:2012 but unlike vintages of ten

but unlike vintages of ten years ago

yet with a refreshing finish

garrigue and spice

As with the rest of the 2014s

later than in other vintages

Michel Lafarge, Volnay Clos Chenes Vintage:2012 but unlike vintages of ten(from 45+ year old vines that sit just above Champans). A brooding but wonderfully fresh nose mingles notes of various red berries, spice, earth and plenty of floral influences. The sleek, intense and muscular largescaled flavors possess excellent power before culminating in a stony and hugely long finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth. This too is explicitly built for the long haul and is a wine thats going to need at least a decade first.
