  May 28, 2023 - Blind. Stinky at first, needs a lot of air, minty, black-fruited. Nowhere to guess Volnay with its fairly smooth tannin structure. 91

  March 11, 2022 - La Paulée de New York - The Verticals (Eventi Hotel - New York NY): Walk around tasting vertical. Big red fruit seems so fun and accessible already, but clearly not simple. So many 2018s are not even close to accessible, but this is charming, even if just hinting at its potential, 91-92 points.

  May 10, 2021 - 100% whole bunch vinification. Fermented with indigenous yeasts using a pied de cuve. Macerated with the skins for 24 days. Aged for 14 months in 228-liter oak barrels (1/3 new). Bottled unfined and unfiltered with a minimal SO2 addition. 13,5% alcohol.
  
  Youthful, fully translucent ruby red color with a subtly blueish hue. Youthful, ripe and somewhat sweet-toned nose with varietally correct aromas of cherries and ripe black raspberries, some earthy spice, a little bit of juicy blueberry and blackberry, light cranberry tones and a candied primary hint of fruit jellies. The wine feels ripe, fruit-forward and very juicy on the palate with clean, dry-ish flavors of ripe black raspberries and sweet cherries, some peppery spice, a little bit of tart cranberry, light blueberry tones, a hint of meaty umami and a touch of earthy spice. The alcohol shows a bit through. Balanced structure, thanks to the moderately high acidity and somewhat grippy medium-minus tannins. The finish is ripe, juicy and quite long with slightly sweet-toned flavors of black cherries and raspberries, some crunchy cranberry tones, a little bit of stony minerality, light savory notes of umami and a subtle hint of sweet oak spice. The tannins make the wine end on a subtly grippy note.
  
  A very nice, clean and juicy Volnay, but perhaps a bit too ripe and sweet-toned for my preference. There's lots of instant charm here, but for my taste the wine really calls for more freshness, depth and intensity. Most likely this wine can develop some sense of finesse as it drops the sweetest primary fruit notes with age, but I have a hunch this wine is still a bit too ripe to make great old bones. I'd say this is a nice and fruity Volnay for early consumption, yet not perhaps at its best right now. Let the wine wait for a handful of years more.

  November 24, 2020 - Very pretty nose of rose petals, slightly lacking on the palate which was a little thin without structure. With air the hotter vintage began to show with some sweetness.
