The 2013 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Cave des Ducs a monopole with three ages of vine, the oldest almost 80 years old, has a reserved, aloof bouquet that is standoffish at the moment, but it has great transparency. There are some lovely chalky tannins here with sappy red berry fruit, a touch of spice and a grippy saline finish. It feels just a little disjointed at the moment but it will assimilate by the time of bottling as there is plenty of substance here. Excellent.
