Reviews & Scores
Rich pure clear and classy, showing the first signs of maturity. 2002 should be in a good place now, and the nose suggests that this is so. Not the ripest of fruit flavours, but just starting to emerge from its cocoon. The velvet carpet has started to be unfurled, but with the classic Lafarge fine-grained tannic framework. Excellent aftertaste. An hour later this continues to develop really well, and I for one really appreciate the stern and precise finish. - JM

Healthy dark red. Knockout nose offers musky, wild red berries, truffle and dried flowers, plus a balsamic nuance. Voluminous, tactile and deep; wonderfully generous and full, with the sweetness of fruit to give great pleasure right now. The very long finish features big but fine-grained tannins. This is remarkably fresh considering the bottle format; in fact, Michel Lafarge noted that the same wine from 750s was still closed. - VM
VM94February 2016
*Outstanding* This is virtually always Lafarge's best wine and it is again in 2002 with incredibly rich, powerful and complex flavors introduced by classy, pure and ripe aromas of dark pinot fruit notes and obvious earth nuances. There are buckets of pinot sap that coat and stain the palate and all but completely hide the ample but quite fine structure. A great Lafarge Clos des Chênes that should age for two decades and like the '03, it is well worth a special search. - BH
BH94April 2005
Smoky blackberries, dark cherries, pepper, and fresh herbs can be detected in the aromatic profile of the 2002 Volnay Clos des Chenes. Rich, deep, and concentrated, it exhibits loads of resin-laced blackberries. This medium-bodied offering’s prolonged finish is crammed with ripe tannin, suggesting that patience will be required. - WA
