2007 Volnay 1. Cru Les Chevrets Henri Boillot

Bright medium red-ruby. Less floral and more black on the nose than the Fremiets, but with superb vibrancy to the aromas of dark berries, licorice and minerals. This is slower to express itself but boasts terrific inner-palate tension and lift, with a mineral component giving it great penetration. The almost weightless finish features noble tannins and captivating mineral perfume. This will need seven or eight years of cellaring upon release. Conveys the concentration of tiny berries.
