Outstanding Bollinger

the biggest bragging point here

this is somewhat more forward and approachable than is typical for this wine

Many are quick to dismiss it given the difficulties of the growing season that saw abundant rain

the wine is perhaps more interesting on the nose with its blast of garrigue

de Montille, Volnay Taillepieds other_regions Outstanding BollingerHistorically, this may be the most under rated wine in the de Montille portfolio with its ripe, airy and ultra pure nose of mineral suffused red pinot fruit that is in perfect keeping with the finely detailed, layered and firm medium bodied flavors that are sweet, fresh and vibrant, all wrapped in a youthfully austere finish that exudes that wonderful quality of underlying tension. Terrific. (90 92) 2014+
