No whole bunch this year because the stems were still green. Cask sample. Rather charming and very appealing with no rough edges. A little fine tannin underneath. Just what modern 2023 burgundy should taste like. Maybe not for the long term but masses of fruity appeal. (JR) (Drink between 2028-2038). 17/20
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2023 Volnay pours a deep ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful with notes of forest strawberry, raspberry, Bing cherry, red flowers, sous bois and mixed spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and the texture is almost chewy. This is a very pretty, but also quite powerful and certainly fleshy Volnay that I expect this will show a lot more with some time in the cellar. Drink now to enjoy its youth and through 2038. 92 Points
