The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chenes has a mixture of red and black fruit on the crisp, tensile nose, crushed rose petals just underneath. I admire the strictness of these Pommard-like aromas. The palate is soft and pure on the entry with red plum and cranberry fruit, very fine tannin and an almost caressing, silky smooth finish that is a delight. Excellent.
