The 2020 Volnay Les Pluchots has turned out very nicely, offering up aromas of cherries and sweet berries framed by hints of forest floor and toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with powdery tannins, tangy acids and a seamless, elegant profile, it derives from a parcel just below the premiers crus where the limestone is very close to the surface. 2025 - 2040
Slightly fresher liqueur-like aromas of dark currant and exotic tea exhibit a violet top note. Once again there is a slightly finer mouthfeel to the solidly concentration and voluminous flavors that conclude in a dusty, even chalky youthfully austere finish that is both more complex as well as more persistent. Lovely.
