Bouchard Pere et Fils Volnay Clos Des Chenes 1er Cru - 2009 (750ml) 705 Top Hill2 Two distinctly toasted barrel headsA pure and ripe nose of cherry and plum liqueur marries into rich, powerful and mineral driven medium bodied flavors that brim with dry extract which confers a seductive texture on the firm, dusty and beautifully detailed and intense finish that delivers impressive length.
