The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Caves des Ducs includes one-third whole cluster fruit and has a well defined, detailed bouquet that demonstrates a little more focus than the 2014 Volnay Mitans, perhaps less rustic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, quite dense tannin. This is a masculine Volnay that feels pleasingly saline in the mouth, a touch austere and broody but with a long, spicy tail on the finish. Give it 3-4 years in bottle.
