The 2021 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a well-defined nose with brambly red fruit, briary and light mulch-like scents, bashful at first but soon finding its voice. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a little chalky in texture and very linear towards a finish that lacks a bit of substance. But I appreciate its freshness.
