Vinous: 93-96 Points
The 2021 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru belts out of the glass with blackberry raspberry and crushed stone aromas the most vigorous of the Premier Crus at this juncture. Wonderful definition. The palate is harmonious poised and demonstrates more substance than the other crus with a slightly confit finish that lingers seductively. This could age magnificently - a victory in a challenging growing season that deserves a hearty applause.
Decanter: 93 Points
Fragrant and lifted nose with red and black fruit. Plenty of sweetness of fruit on the palate makes this a bit more approachable than Taillepieds for now. Long savoury finish. This is the largest 1er cru at Marquis d'Angerville amounting to 3.98ha. Here it holds two plots both with southeast expositions the higher located on very thin soil over a band of limestone the lower on more clay-dominated pebbly soils.
