"Les Brouillards," is found on the north side of Volnay closer to Pommard and the soils are rich with iron and clay. The result in 2018 is excellent. The aromatics are soaring, with red and black berries and a compelling violet note that I really love. In the mouth there is more of those dark fruit notes, with touches of kirsch, toasted spices and an appealingly salty mineral finish. There is ample grip and structure that leads me to think that this will age well for some time but it is very pretty and you won't be wracked with guilt if you happen to open one soon. It's a pleasure to find Volnay of this quality and at this price these days. Sam Ehrlich
