(a .52 ha monopole). This is aromatically quite similar to the Le Villages with just a bit more layering. The vibrant and again, strikingly delineated, medium-bodied flavors possess slightly better mid-palate stuffing along with good power on the refined, focused, stony and balanced finish. This youthfully austere effort is a classic Volnay of grace and lace. 2029+. 91-93 Points
Just two barrels. Notably pale and a slightly evolved nose. A little bit of blood orange, though Clos de la Rougeotte is not especially ferrous in soil. Marc-Olivier tells me that it is a high potassium and low magnesium site, on SO4 rootstock. A little soft with crushed strawberry notes. This is so whole bunch in style, even when none have been used! Drink from 2026-2031. 89-91 Points
