"This was the last vintage where Gérard Potel was in charge of this lovely domaine and it was great to see that his final Clos de la Bousse d’Or is a superb example of the vintage. The wine is now wide open and fully mature, offering up a complex bouquet of red berries, cherries, pigeon, a lovely base of soil, gentle autumnal notes and a topnote of woodsmoke. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and beautifully transparent, with a good core, fine focus and grip, modest tannins and a long, complex and tangy finish. Just a lovely bottle of Volnay at its apogee, but still with plenty of life ahead of it." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Sep/Oct 2018, Issue #77 |
