2018 Charles Lachaux Volnay 1er Cru Santenots 750ml

BH92 VM90

This too is conspicuously floral in character with its more elegant and spicier aromas of both red and dark pinot fruit that is cut with hints of earth, anise and violet. There is even better volume and power to the muscular and lightly mineral-inflected flavors that culminate in a compact, dusty and very serious finale. This appears to be quite promising though note well that at least moderate patience is advised. (Drink starting 2030)
