This was good out of the gate and got somewhat better as it opened. Decanted for about 2 hours and it had lovely aromatics, pure fruit, and was a good match with pork tenderloin in mushroom sauce. Had it along side a 2002 Jadot Bonnes Mares. The Jadot was a bit more muscular and complex but I really admired the Volnay’s elegance and purity of expression. Not sure I would pay the current rate on these, but happy I bought it on release.

Ouvert 3 heures à l’avance, il est encore d’une jeunesse incroyable!
Le nez est discret, avec des notes de fruits noirs, des épices, terre humide. En bouche, le vin est puissant, mais très civilisé, d’un équilibre admirable. Ce n’est pas un charmeur, mais un être sauvage, fougueux, terreux, racé et profond. La finale est longue, précise, minérale et complexe. Un vin extraordinaire, mais pas pour tout public. 93-94 pts

Heater week; 3/26/2023-4/3/2023 (Chicago, IL): ...and another bottle that was full-on grumpy and ornery, though it was far better than the Ducs alongside. This had very pure fruit, but it was also somewhat subdued and not on full display. Quite tannic and chewy, and almost a little leathery too. Drinking this just before the Ducs, it entirely wipes out any semblance of flavour of the latter wine. Despite having anecdotal evidence that this was drinking very well, this bottle was more about long term potential than anything.
