Ce n’est pas un vin spectaculaire mais il a une vraie personnalité. Il a une aromatique bien définie et en ligne avec ce qu’on attend d’un Volnay. Il exprime bien la touche un peu plus virile du terroir des Mitans (mais sans rusticité). Il évite les écueils de ce millésime difficile avec une maturité incontestable et une longueur très correcte. C’est une belle réussite pour ce millésime et demeure en pleine forme. Probablement à son apogée mais avec encore 10 bonnes années devant lui.

On the nose a lot of strawberries - later the strawberries disappeared - not we are getting cherries and blackberries and maybe a hint of strawberries - the balance is still okay but this is clearly a wine you should drink - we are giving 91 - but are actually closer to 90 thant 92.

This bottle of Les Mitans showed very well and certainly better than the previous. Fully matured showing light red fruit and minerals; very focussed and clean. The palate is balanced and with decent finish.

It was also interesting to have the Pommard 1er Cru Les Pèzerolles and the Les Mitans of the same vintage side by side. Les Mitans’ nose show lighter red fruit and minerals; the palate is more constrained which detracted from the overall impression just a little. Finish little shorter.

(de Montille Volnay 1er Cru "Mitans") Beautiful aromas of flowers, spice, cherry fruit, mineral and wet earth. There was some of that '88 tannin that will probably never go away but it did not detract from the wine in any way. One of the better '88's I have had.
