Fontaine Gagnard, Volnay Clos Chenes other_regions_australia Very deep purple-blackA spicy, cool and admirably pure nose is comprised by notes of essence of red pinot fruit and pretty floral nuances. Once again the medium weight flavors possess a really lovely mid palate texture that contrast somewhat with the serious and stony finish that is ever so mildly drying today. The supporting tannins seem ripe so my rating offers the benefit of the doubt that the dryness is due to the recent bottling. 90 2027+
