Volnay 1er cru Clos des Chênes 2010
"Soft wood sets off a superbly complex and ripe nose of cassis, black raspberry, spice and interestingly, fresh tobacco hints. There is really lovely purity to the fresh, rich, concentrated and overtly powerful flavors that exude an intense minerality on the firm but again well-balanced and explosive finish. This is first-rate and is well-worth considering."

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
