Louis Boillot, Volnay Brouillards Vintage:2018 Reduction knocks down the nose

Reduction knocks down the nose but there is good verve to the restrained

robust and beautifully complex flavors that possess beautiful finishing intensity and a distinct note of violets

intense and extract-rich medium weight flavors that possess fine delineation and an abundance of minerality

The palate is very savory in style with roasted chestnut and ferrous notes infusing the finish that has an appealing rounded texture

Louis Boillot, Volnay Brouillards Vintage:2018 Reduction knocks down the noseA notably ripe and densely fruited nose flashes notes of both red and black cherry liqueurlike aromas that display additional breadth in the form of plum and spice nuances. The exceptionally rich, fleshy and concentrated flavors somehow manage to retain good delineation, all wrapped in a succulent yet notably firm finish. I like the power and punch this displays and despite the relatively firm tannic spine, this should drink well young. (90 93) 2026+
