Wine Advocate: 91-93 Points
Notes of peonies raspberries plums and spices complemented by a delicate hint of raw cocoa introduce the 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Pitures a medium-bodied lively wine that's mineral and precise with a fine-boned elegant profile. This is another beautiful wine from Anne Morey.
Vinous: 90-92 Points
The sophomore 2019 Volnay Les Pitures 1er Cru has a very floral bouquet of violet scents infusing the mixture of red and blueberry; fine delineation here. The palate is well balanced and defined slightly grainy in texture and quite spicy on the firm finish. There is a broodiness to this Volnay that I actually quite like but it might need longer in bottle before reaching its drinking window. (Drink between 2025-2035)
Burghound: 88-91 Points
A very ripe nose speaks of roasted plum warm earth and anise along with notes of both red and dark raspberry. There is fine verve to the solidly concentrated middle weight flavors that are nicely mineral-driven on the tautly muscular and sneaky long if mildly warm finish. This needs to develop more depth to achieve the upper end of my projected range. (Drink starting 2026)
