this mid-weight

Similar in style to a lighter-weight 2010

The 2008s show a work in progress as Conterno only had control of the vineyard for a few months that year

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

exotic spices and plums

de Montille, Volnay Champans Vintage:2012 this mid-weight(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+
