The Lucien Le Moine whites and reds remain some of the most compelling wines being made in Burgundy. An exceptional 1er Cru Pinot Noir from the Clos des Chenes vineyard of Volnay in a truly special vintage. Exceptional.

Grape - Pinot Noir
Volume - Standard - 750ml
The 2010 Volnay Clos des Chenes bursts onto the palate with heady concoction of mineral-infused red fruit, crushed rocks, white flowers and white pear. The 2010 is nervous and taut from start to finish. The wine's energy should allow it to age nicely for years. Chalky notes support the articulate, focused finish. This is a striking wine.
