**Note: 100% whole clusters**
An overtly floral-inflected nose displays a lovely, fresh and again cool array of spice, red pinot fruit and a hint of wet stone. The stony character can also be found in abundance on the highly energetic, chiseled and saline yet attractively rich medium-bodied flavors that deliver outstanding length on the dusty and mildly austere but very well-balanced finale. This is terrific but note well that patience will be required.
The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds is 100% whole cluster fruit like the Mitans. It has a taut, detailed, mineral-infused bouquet that gently unfurls in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a surfeit of minerals, beautifully defined, saline in the mouth with a linear, penetrating finish that lingers long and tenderly. The gravel soils of the vineyard really come through here. Excellent, but do cellar this 4-5 years.
