Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds 2019

"A notably ripe nose has a mildly roasted character to it yet there is still good freshness to the poached plum, cassis and softly spicy aromas. There is equally good verve to the succulent but punchy and delicious flavors that are decidedly compact and tightly wound today on the impressively long and austere finish. This is very Taillepieds in the sense that it's borderline strict, yet the underlying components are present for this to be superb one day." Outstanding, 91-94 … more

Domaine Louis Boillot et Fils Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles 2015

Burghound 'Louis Boillot's views are consistent with those of his wife Ghislaine Barthod.... I would add only that Boillot noted that he began the harvest on the 2nd of September in Volnay. As the scores and commentaries confirm, Boillot did fabulously well in 2015, indeed I would go so far as to say that they are among the best wines that I have ever seen from him. Moreover Beaujolais lovers should not ignore those wines either as all three are … more

Domaine Louis Boillot et Fils Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles 2017

Burghound 'Here too there is noticeable reduction that knocks down the underlying fruit today. Otherwise there is a finer mouthfeel if slightly less concentration to the delicious and beautifully vibrant flavors that exude a subtle minerality that suffuses the refreshing, lilting and elegant finish. This too is really quite lovely and I like the overall sense of harmony as it's at once very Volnay while being underpinned by firm but ripe tannins. Barrel tasted 2019 89-92pts.'

A new wine from Francois following the inaugural 2017 vintage. 2019 and 2020 are already in barrel to follow this first release. The 'triangle', Francois loves the elegance offered by this 1er Cru.

Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru 'Clos des Ducs' 2018

"Note: a monopole that measures 2.15 ha

A distinctly cooler nose is composed by aromas of red currant, cherry and a broad array of spice and floral wisps. There is outstanding intensity to the racy, well-detailed and strikingly stony medium weight flavors that deliver superb persistence and even more minerality on the balanced and wonderfully refreshing finale. This is also very classy juice and should age well for years." 93-95, Tasted: Apr 10, 2019, Drink: 2033+, Issue: 78 - Don't … more
