Clos du Chateau des Ducs

This is a very impressive Volnay with a delicate sensuality evident right from the first sniff. The quality of the fruit is such that it smoothes its way across the whole palate to a seamless finish with the tannin entirely submerged in fruit.

This monopoly wine from Domaine Lafarge is discreet at the front then builds rapidly behind to an exceptionally long finish. There is vigorous red fruit through the middle and a more sensual finale. Marvellous.
