2017 | Domaine Clos de la Chapelle | Volnay Taillepieds

There’s quite a dark, stony edge to the nose here with darker cherries. This is very plush and succulent feel with a sinewy feel to the tannins that carry plenty of rich and ripe red to darker-cherry flavor. Fresh, cherry-pip tang at the finish.

Reviews:

• John Gilman: (Volnay “Taillepieds”- Domaine Clos de la Chapelle) The Domaine Clos de la Chapelle’s beautiful 2017 Taillepieds is an absolutely textbook example of this great terroir, as one might expect in a great vintage and sixty-five-plus year-old vines tucked in between d’Angerville and de Montille in the heart and soul of the vineyard. The stunning nose soars from the glass in a nascently complex blend of sweet black cherries and plums, dark chocolate, fresh nutmeg and other delicate spice tones, dark soil tones, gamebird, woodsmoke and a bit of vanillin oak. With extended aeration there is a touch of Bonnes-Mares-like heather tones as well here, which is utterly gorgeous. On the palate the wine is deep, full, focused and properly structured, with a beautiful core of fruit, great soil signature, ripe, well-integrated tannins and a long, tangy and perfectly balanced finish. Great juice. (Drink between 2030-2090).

• Vinous: The 2017 Volnay Taillepieds 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of red cherries, cranberry and undergrowth scents; this becomes more floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and vibrant, with supple tannins, crisp acidity and a vibrant, quite mineral-driven, symmetrical finish. Classy. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
