Domaine Bouchard Pere & Fils - Volnay 1er Cru 'Taillepieds' - 2018

Very generous wood influence again stops just short of dominating the more floral-suffused aromas of spiced black cherry, exotic tea and a whiff of very ripe plum. The middle weight flavors possess a slightly finer texture that brims with evident minerality on the bright, youthfully austere and chiseled finish. This too is going to require extended patience. 91-93 Points, Sweet Spot Outstanding Allen Meadows, Burghound
