THE sleeper in the Buffet lineup. I adore this wine as it’s the most lacey, elegant, ephemeral 1er cru not just in Volnay but in all of Burgundy. It’s just gorgeous. Nose leaps out of the glass with unreal cherries and florals. Almost cherries in a demi glace. So provocative. It’s so expansive like when you’ve squeezed a flower petal or a piece of marijuana and you get the pungent aroma. That’s just the resting state for this nose. Huge spice. I could smell this all day. Wow. 9.7 nose. The palate is just silk. This is the silkiest 1er cru ever. Hauntingly elegant and with the most energetic yet sweet fruit. Gorgeous, pitter patter tannins and sweet fruit that is so pure and so delicate. The most gorgeous wine and has loads of early charm. I knew this was going to be a star in 23. Wow.
