The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Volnay Les Chevrets, tasted both in Boillot's cellars and in the United States, has an appealingly dense nose of violets and black cherries. Medium to full-bodied and powerful, it coats the palate with blackberries, graphite, licorice, and dark cherry flavors. This is a masculine, chewy, seamless wine that is the result of moderate yields and impeccable winemaking. Its extremely long finish is completely fruit-dominated, yet reveals copious, well-ripened tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2012. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel.
