Lush in texture and balanced on the soft side, this red displays black cherry, blackberry, violet and earth flavors. Terrific harmony and a long, complex finish of fruit and mineral. Will be approachable in the short...
Forty-five year old vines that act like they are 80 years' old' is how Brian Sieve describes the vineyard that supplies the fruit for this pale, aromatic, low-yielding wine. With lots of clove and pepper spice from 100%...
(91-93 points) Glowing bright purple. This has a superb nose with vivid lively raspberry fruit, fresh, after which I am expecting good acidity and getting it. Classic balance here, really intense fruit without a sensation...
(91-94 points) Once again there is liqueur-like character to the aromas of red cherry, passion fruit, spice and pretty floral elements. There is excellent volume to the caressing and palate coating flavors that are...
(90-92 points) A restrained but softly perfumed nose combines notes of red and dark cherry, spice, plum, sandalwood and a hint of violet. There is a bit more flesh to the equally racy, intense and stony flavors that...
(91-93 points) There are just two one-year-old barrels of the 2012 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets. Bouley’s parcel comes from 0.16 hectares of 9-year-old vines, but 85% was destroyed by hail in this year. It has a subtle...
92+ Moderately saturated medium red. Sexy, lightly medicinal aromas of cherry, redcurrant and milk chocolate, with a touch of peppery, spicy lift. (Unlike the foregoing wines, which are from totally destemmed fruit, this...
(91-95 points) Magical depth of colour with a high-class dense fruit, and again a certain amount of oak. A little bit more muscle here with a pleasing and concentrated ripe dark fruit, but no hint at all of over-ripeness...
(92-95 points) A notably ripe yet attractively fresh nose is comprised by notes of exuberantly floral, spice, plum liqueur and relatively prominent menthol influences. The wonderfully sleek, concentrated and intensely...
The 2015 Volnay Les Carelles Sous la Chapelle 1er Cru has a dense, backward, slightly broody bouquet at first, gradually opening to offer brambly blackberry, raspberry and light damp undergrowth aromas. The palate is...
(93-95 points) From Les Santenots-du-Milieu, dating back to 1976 plus some young vines. Bright crimson, deep yet fresh dark raspberry on the nose, very sensual, this is sumptuous on the palate and thrilling too...
(93-95 points) The 2019 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru comes from a 0.15-hectare plot. It has a charming bouquet with beautifully defined red cherries and wild strawberry fruit intermixed with bergamot and light tea leaf...
(92-95) This is also brilliantly spicy with its ultra-pure and pretty essence of black raspberry, floral and warm-earth suffused aromas. Like the Champans there is excellent underlying tension supporting the...
(91-93) This too is firmly reduced today. Otherwise the mouth feel of the medium weight flavors is finer if slightly less powerful while tightening up considerably on the super-saline and overtly mineral-driven finish...
This is certainly one of the more concentrated Volnays of the vintage, but the richness and plummy, mulberry fruity concentration is balanced by some freshness and spice from 30% whole bunches. The acidity comes through...
(88-91) Mild reduction is still enough to push the underlying fruit to the background for the moment. Otherwise there is a wonderfully seductive mouth feel to the lightly stony middle weight flavors that manage to retain...
30% whole bunch. The nose still shows it with some crushed strawberries along with something more concentrated beneath. This is very pretty, the structure is much better managed than in earlier more rustic times. Good...
(91-93 points) 20% whole bunch. Fine deep purple, with a very lively nose, classier than the Bourgogne. Now the vines have hit 20 years old…. More fine-boned than the Bourgogne, with a sweet sensual deep cherry and...
Medium red. Deep, ripe scents of raspberry and minerals. Plush and fine-grained but a bit darker and fresher than the Beaune Cent-Vignes, conveying a more delicate quality to its flavors of redcurrant, red cherry, menthol...
(92-93 points) Not quite the same depth of colour as En Cailleret. Gentler red fruit notes, a fresh raspberry feel with a touch of redcurrant, fresh finish. Good length too, stylish wine.
(92-94 points) The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Mitans has a more loose-knit nose than the Champans. That being said, it deserves applause because you cannot tell in a million years that it is 100% whole cluster. The palate is...
