remoissenet 2007 volnay clos des chênes

Update 20.8.2012(19.8.2012)billn

Monthélie or Volnay – clearly a label-drinker would go for the latter, but comparing this 2007 Clos des Chênes with the 2007 Les Duresses of the other day, I’d certainly take the Monthélie for drinking now…

2007 Remoissenet, Volnay 1er Clos des Chênes
Just a little more than medium colour. The nose starts rather chunky and lumpen – the flavours are quite a contrast – decent weight, just hint of padding and a nice level of acidity – I like the freshness and overall shape, though the fruit is more roast than primary. Slowly (it takes over 1 hour) the aromas start to straighten up, the perfume is pungent but certainly it’s still perfume. The flavour has good length and sucrosité – it’s tasty wine, and in the context of 07s it’s a good result. I love this vineyard and liked this wine, but my extra cash would almost certainly be spent on different vintages.
Rebuy – Yes
