The Volnay Champans from de Montille boasts forward ripe aromas of plum and blackberry with hints of liquorice and star anise; the texture is creamy and dense yet on the finish it is evident there are some firm tannins. The grapes come from a parcel of 0.75 hectares that runs the length of the vineyard. At the top the soil is sandier; near the bottom it is heavier clay. The grapes from the top half are fermented as whole clusters; those from the bottom are destemmed; the wines are ageing now in cask (30% new) where they will stay until the spring.

Vinous: 91-93 Points
The 2022 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru including one-third whole clusters has a wonderful bouquet with red cherries and redcurrant scents a touch of blue fruit emerging with aeration. Nicely integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins fresh and vibrant and lively with a tensile citrus finish. Recommended.

Burghound: 91-93 Points
A slightly riper nose is comprised by notes of violet various dark berries and a more discreet hint of warm earth. The sleek delicious and relatively fine middleweight details display a firm bead of minerality all wrapped in a youthfully austere and lingering finish that is supported by bright acidity and firm tannins.

Jasper Morris: 89-92 Points
40% whole cluster. A middling purple colour. This has an engaging dense red berry fruit with just slightly dry tannins at the end after which the fruit returns. Medium long finish. By Jasper Morris
