Jean Marc Bouley Volnay 1er Cru Carelle Sous La Chapelle 2020

were just bottled prior to my visit

Full-bodied and rich

There is once again an appealing sense of energy to the lighter weight flavors that deliver solid punch and persistence on the balanced finish

Fine perfumes of flowers (the name "Fleuraison" means flowering / blossoming)

espresso and grilled herbs flesh out on the huge finish

incense and licorice

There is good volume and concentration to the delicious and vibrant flavors that possess very good mid-palate concentration as well as fine length on the palate coating finish

Dense ruby/purple in color

There is a lovely sense of energy and underlying tension to the intensely mineral-driven

There is excellent complexity to the blend of plum

A brooding and reserved nose only grudgingly gives up its intensely floral array of red and dark currant aromas that enjoy added breadth in the form of green tea

dazzling Cabernet Sauvignon
