“from 50+ year old vines; a monopole of the domaine. An attractively fresh nose only slowly reveals its aromas of spicy dark currant, black cherry, floral and exotic tea scents. There is excellent intensity to the mineral-driven middle weight flavors that possess a supple yet highly energetic mid-palate while the superbly complex and beautifully long finish is also quite firmly structured and built-to-age. This is quite simply outstanding.” 92-95 points, Allen Meadow, Burghound

Neal Martin
The 2017 Volnay Clos du Château des Ducs is completely de-stemmed by hand this year, which took just over 30 hours according to Frédéric Lafarge. It has a very pure bouquet with redcurrant, wild strawberry, crushedstone and light rose petal aromas, more feminine than the Clos des Chênes but just as captivating. The palate is packed full of energy and vivacity, superb tension running from start to finish with the mineralité flooding acrossthe entrancing finish. Outstanding. Very pure and given that nascent energy, a long-term prospect. 95-97 Points Drink: 2023-2050
