Tasting Notes
Vinous 94/100
The 2021 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru belts out of the glass with blackberry, raspberry and crushed stone aromas, the most vigorous of the Premier Crus at this juncture. Wonderful definition. The palate is harmonious, poised, and demonstrates more substance than the other crus with a slightly confit finish that lingers seductively. This could age magnificently – a victory in a challenging growing season that deserves a hearty applause.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2045
