The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru, a blend of Volnay Les Pitures and Les Mitans (the latter partially uprooted in recent years so the blend comprises mainly of the former) saw about 15% new oak. It has a very intense bouquet with dark cherries, blackcurrant, violet and cassis, quite opaque at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. There is certainly good concentration here with black rather than red fruit, noticeable salinity with a sappy, though slightly introverted finish that should gain more personality by the time of bottling. This is an excellent Volnay.
