May 15, 2022 - Disappeared very quickly at the family dinner. Small sample: smoothed tannin and crunchy red berry fruit with plenty of acidity. Very good effort.

May 15, 2022 - Sometimes you just want Miss Right Now rather than Miss Right! Definitely the case with this wine. Uncorked and drunk over the next hour. Disappeared between 2 of us as fast as I can recall any wine doing in recent years. Perhaps a tad warm on serving which caused the predominantly red fruit to show in a very slightly stewed/imprecise fashion. Otherwise, a simply delicious/sexy rendition of volnay.

-this is pretty decent overall if not very Volnay; ie it is a better pinot than it is a Burg1 person found this helpful Comment -

January 5, 2019 - Drunk over 2 nights. Quite dark coloured and dark fruited for a volnay on the first night. Quite similar to the mazoyeres in many ways. Different beast on the 2nd night, particularly the warmer 1st glass. Explosive nose of sweet perfumed red fruits that really followed through on the palate. Quite impressive. Cooler second glass was more like the first night’s showing. I’d say this could very much be enjoyed now with some air or held for a while.
