The 2009 Volnay Clos d'Audignac is the most open and inviting of these 2009s today. Layers of rich, textured fruit flow across the palate in stunning style. Hints of goudron and licorice add complexity to the dark, jammy fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2039.

From vines around the winery of Pousse d'Or, this is ripe and generous, with fine tannins, hints of wood and extract as well as great red cherry acidity. For midterm aging.
