2015 Domaine Nicolas Rossignol Volnay Chevret 1er Cru

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Chevret comes from more limestone soils and was showing just a touch of sur-maturity on the nose, with a touch of menthol slightly blurring the red cherry and kirsch aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and shows more control than the nose. It offers dark cherries, spice box, orange rind and brown spices, the acidity nicely judged but it does not quite possess the precision of the Clos des Angles on the finish. Drink over 5-8 years.
