Jasper Morris: 90-92 Points
Ruby crimson in colour. Gentle and graceful aromatics. The firmer structure of this wine is apparent in the mouth though there is enough pure red berry fruit to cover the bones. Undemonstrative yet harmonious and balanced. By Jasper Morris
Burghound: 89-91 Points
Spicier aromas of poached plum dark currant violet and a hint of crushed fennel are rimmed in more subtle wood influence. Once again there is a really lovely texture to the more mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that possess a caressing mouthfeel all wrapped in a firm punchy lightly austere and equally well-balanced finale. Lovely and understated. (Drink starting 2029) By Allen Meadows
Vinous: 88-90 Points
A blend of six parcels spread around the appellation the 2022 Volnay Village has a well-defined and quite Pommard-like nose. The palate is medium-bodied quite robust for a Volnay and grippy with a slightly muscular but focused finish. A gutsy Volnay in the making and as such it will require 3-4 years in bottle. It may land at the top of my banded score. (Drink between 2025 - 2038). By Neal Martin
