Maison Champy 2017 – Volnay

The nose is elegant and offers richness (full of control), a small creaminess and a fine intensity. It reveals notes of creamy violet plum, crushed strawberry, small notes of small creamy blue fruits, violet as well as very fine hints of grey pepper, a subtle hint of mild tobacco and chocolate. The palate is fruity, beautifully racy and offers juiciness, minerality, elegance, gourmandize as well as a certain aromatic purity, tension, a small aerial side and a beautiful creaminess. On the palate this wine expresses notes of creamy violet plum, juicy/fleshy cassis, small notes of fleshy/juicy raspberry associated with touches of creamy blueberry, rose, cornflower as well as fine touches of graphite, toasted, chocolate, an imperceptible hint of mild tobacco and cloves. Good length.
