June 30, 2022 - Brought to a dîner at a very generous host. Opened in between the 91 Corton-Charlemagne and two Bordeaux served blind. Nice but eclipsed by the other wines. Still has a long way to go but well rounded already. Silky tannins classic to Volnay and displayed the 2010 elegance.

December 4, 2020 - Still just a baby with primary black cherry and spice. This has weight and concentration above its pedigree. Needs more time to develop nuance. Upside from here.

October 31, 2019 - Really beautiful and about as good as you can hope for from a village Volnay. Great balance and mouthwatering acidity. The fruit was a tad tart here (cranberry, underripe cherry/plum) but was uplifting rather than unripe. Texture was very smooth and silky, especially for a village wine. Only criticism is that the finish was a bit clipped but not abruptly so. Acidity allows this to last longer -- will try again in 3-5y.
