stone fruit

40% Semillon and 14% Sauvignon Gris

mainly thanks to the larger contribution of Sémillon at one-third of the blend

rich and relatively forward flavors that possess a generous mid-palate though the vibrant and stony finish immediately tightens up

but this is one example where the younger generation is building on past success by taking things to an entirely new level

de Montille, Volnay Champans Vintage:2012 stone fruit(50% whole clusters). A much earthier mix of red and dark currant, violet and discreet herbal tea nuances slides into the supple lighter weight flavors that are a bit more elegant than usual, all wrapped in a nicely complex and persistent finish. This is certainly good but 2017 is not a great vintage for this wine. (89 92) 2025+
