The 2023 Volnay Clos de la Cave des Ducs 1er Cru contains around 10% whole bunch. This articulates more terroir and Pinot expression than to the slightly ripe Mitans. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit, fine tannins, crisp acidity and a hint of orange rind on the finish. This is promising. NEAL MARTIN
“Everything about this wine is intense—each element of the structure seems to be bolded, italicized and underscored. That said, it all works together remarkably well, even if—for me—the palate feel and organization overtook the aromas at the moment. But, there is extra-dimensional depth of expression on the palate, too. Black plums, warm tobacco, turned earth, savory spice and warm figs give exceptional complexity. (94) CHRISTY CANTERBURY MW, Tim Atkin Burgundy Report
