Soft but bright nice acidity and elegance. Notes of cherry and raspberries. Does not grip you maybe a bit flabby?

Love it when I find a producer of one of my favorite vineyards that I've never seen or had before!

Drinking very nice. Still very fresh and well integrated. A steal from Paul!

Much better and more open then the last bottle I opened, nice fruit, good structure and balance, very good.

La dernière bouteille étant un peu fermée, j’ai carafé une petite heure avant de servir, sans être le plus expressif, il s’est révéler plus ouvert que la dernière.
Un fruit assez généreux pour le millésime, belle structure et texture intéressante, un vin assez sérieux encore mais qui en donne pas mal maintenant, belle longueur, c’est bien fait. 91

Very nice, ripe red fruit, some volume and density, decent length. 90-91

Finally seems to open up, dark fruit profile, fresh, yet some grip and power to it, good balance and decent length too .

Excellent et semble s’ouvrir un peu, frais mais avec de la puissance, belle finale de bonne longueur et assez équilibré, très bien. 90-91

Beautiful and elegantly racy nose of violets and red fruits. The palate is equally elegant and refined with slightly tart red fruit and approchable tannins on a long finish that leaves you mouth watering for more, great balance.

Nez aromatique et élégant qui pinote avec un côté floral de violettes et de fruits rouges surtout. Une bouche tout en aussi en finesse et élégance avec un fruit rouge acidulé et des tannins veloutés sur une finale longue et savoureuse avec ces fruits rouges acidulés un peu en retro.

Young Volnay. Was afraid to order it initially but was pleasantly surprised how approachable the wine is at this tender age. Soft fruit, smooth, very little evidence of tannin (which might hurt aging) but overall a pleasing drink. Nice example of the femininity of Volnay we have grown to love.
