de Montille, Volnay Champans other_regions Oak is a touch more

Oak is a touch more evident than in most years because the fruit is not at full ripeness

painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience

This should age very well

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

3% Cabernet Franc makes up the rest of the blend

de Montille, Volnay Champans other_regions Oak is a touch more(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+
