  October 2, 2020 - Colour: translucent cherry red, fading to brick
  Nose: strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate. Cedary oak. Sweet spice. Forest floor, mushroomy, warm mulched earth. Rose petals. Perfumed. Balsamic vinegar.
  Palate: strawberry, pomegranate; sweet red berry fruit. Forest floor, earthy, leafy. Cigar box, cedary oak, sweet spice. Fresh strawberry-like acidity; very smooth, fine grained tannins; both well beautifully integrated. Earthy and savoury, showing good development. Fruity but savoury. Initially it seemed a bit simple and one-dimensional, but it opened up with a bit of air. Maybe lacks some of the complexity and length of his 1er crus, but that's not unexpected I guess. I suspect it's at the end of its drinking window. Really, really nice, very drinkable. Medium bodied, 13% alcohol. Seal: natural cork.

  May 19, 2019 - Fragrant with dried strawberry, cherry, wilted roses and truffle. More dried strawberry and cherry on the palate with spice, damp soil and mulch. It’s earthy and savoury, with tannin fully integrated and a beautiful acid line. Probably around the peak of its maturity although I’m sure it will hold a few years more.

  January 30, 2016 - Mushroom, wet soil, dried herbs, with a little cherry and cranberry. The fruit side showing more with air. Super fine tannins and good acid make this very smashable.

  November 10, 2014 - Full dark red. Very expressive floral rich nose. Flowers, red cherry and earth. This was velvety seamless round wine. Juicy but with some minerality. Very 2011 in character. Had along side the 2010 Boillot Volnay Les Caillerets and the 2005 Montille Volnay Les Mitans. Nice stuff.
