The Volnay Clos des Chenes has a supple, rich raspberry fruitiness married nicely with a touch of new oak. It should keep well until 1992-1997.
The 1985s from this famous firm are all impeccably clean, correct, well-made wines. Drouhin has managed to preserve the individual identity of each appellation as the wines do not taste alike. There is, of course, a house style, but that can be said of the wines from a small grower as well.
