Camille Giroud, Volnay Taillepieds other_regions balsamic herbs and a hintA very ripe nose of black and blue berry fruit aromas nuanced by obvious minerality and hints of underbrush complement perfectly the impeccably balanced and concentrated flavors that explode on the sweet and hyper intense finish that goes on and on. This is a big Volnay built on a base of stone and the intense minerality defines the 05 Taillepieds from stem to stern as it were. In a word, gorgeous. (91 94) 2015+
