Bouchard Père & Fils, Domaine – Taille Pieds 2018 – Volnay, Premier Cru

Nice fresh delicate nose, which offers a fine incisive side, complexity as well as a velvety side. It reveals notes of morello cherry, purple plum, and more slightly – hints of blackberry associated with delicate touches of cardamom, and small blue fruits as well as slight hints of minerality/graphite and discreet hints of salinity. The palate is fruity, racy, and precisely chiseled and offers freshness, minerality, nice energy, a tangy frame as well as delicacy. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, purple plum, and slight hints of bright/tangy cherry associated with touches of tonka bean, cardamom, racy minerality as well as a subtle hint of toast, and lily. The tannins are velvety and elegant. Nice iodized side and a good job on the bitterness on the finish.
