2017 Domaine Henri Boillot Les Chevrets Volnay Premier Cru, France Vigneti del Vulture layered with hints of leatherThe 2017 Volnay Les Chevrets 1er Cru has an open knit, well defined bouquet of brambly red berry fruit and discreet wilted rose petal aromas. The palate is medium bodied, quite grippy and a little drier than its peers, with a slightly bitter, granular finish. It meliorates in the glass and leaves a pleasant spicy aftertaste. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. 93 Pts Vinous
