El Enemigo (Aleanna), Gran Enemigo Chacayes other_regions This is a big Volnay

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

What stands out in the 2016 is the combination of freshness

I much prefer the 2010 La Gaffelière that I tasted the week previously

picking did not conclude until the 25th of November

The last ever rendition of this cuvée from Jacquesson

El Enemigo (Aleanna), Gran Enemigo Chacayes other_regions This is a big VolnayImpressive depth here full of mussels, dark minerals and some black olives. Black plums, dark cherries and a hint of red pepper. Tight but transparent on the palate with an ample but linear finish. Tightly clutched at the end. Really structured and mineral. Nothing heavy here. Drink or hold.
