Wine Advocate: 91-93+ Points
The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Taillepieds exhibits brooding aromas of plums cherries dark chocolate grilled meat and pungent soil tones making for one of wilder bouquets in the cellar this year. On the palate the wine is medium to full-bodied deep and chewy with broad structural shoulders that are more typical of Taillepieds than they are of the 2017 vintage defined by tangy acids and fine-grained but rich tannins. This may well be the wine that demands the greatest patience this year.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A silky polished version delivering cherry raspberry rose and stone flavors. Firms up on the back end with a layer of dusty tannins. Shows fine balance overall leading to a long spicy finish. Best from 2022 through 2035.
Burghound: 92-94 Points
Here the reticent nose is at once ripe yet cool with a lovely layered quality to the mix of violet spice dark berry liqueur and Asian-style tea aromas. The super-sleek intense mineral-driven and refined medium weight flavors that culminate in a very serious youthfully austere and built-to-age finish that just goes on and on. A classic Taillepieds that will require extended patience. (Drink starting 2032)
vVinous: 92-94 Points
The 2017 Volnay Les Taillepieds 1er Cru has perhaps the most "airy" bouquet it is very transparent at the moment but the palate is much tighter and backward. There is good backbone here but it is sulking and it is probably one of the Domaine’s wines that will require the longest bottle age. It has an almost Pommard-like austerity towards the finish. Excellent but one of the more challenging wines from the domaine. (Drink between 2023-2045)
