This too is quite deeply colored. Notes of both wood and menthol set off the liqueur – like aromas of black pinot fruit, spice, newly turned earth and a floral nuance. The concentrated, powerful and imposingly scaled big – bodied flavors possess a supple mid – palate that contrasts considerably with the tight, mildly austere and impressively long finish where an interesting hint of anise appears. This will need at least a f ew years of bottle age first, though that is virtually always the case with a well – made Clos des Chênes. 91 points. Allen Meadows, Burghound June 2018

Notes
Volnay’s 1er Cru vineyards begin in the mid-slope, sitting on shallow soils rich in iron on a rocky subsoil, producing intense wines that are deep in colour and rich and complex in flavour. The vineyards of the Clos des Chênes, named for the oak groves that were once found here, make up the largest of Volnay’s premiers crus, occupying 15.5 ares at the top of the village. Domaine Latour-Giraud owns 26 ares near the top of the hill. The clay contained in this patch adds strength and body to the delicacy of this wine, complemented by a silky palate and lovely woody notes on the bouquet.
