Olivier Leflaive Volnay Clos des Angles 1er Cru 2017

Wild strawberry and red cherry struggle beneath intrusive oak that dominates this delicate site. The wood treatment overwhelms Volnay's natural finesse, leaving a medium-bodied wine with ripe tannins but an artificial sweetness. Blood orange emerges on the finish alongside grainy, cereal-like notes that highlight the heavy-handed winemaking.
