Vinous: 94 Points
The 2018 Volnay Clos de Verseuil 1er Cru has a very charming bouquet that I feel has more delineation and precision than the Les Mitans at this premature juncture. Very focused with more mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with a very harmonious entry dark berry fruit mixed with black pepper and a light gaminess towards the finish. Very fresh and vibrant this is a superb Volnay from Clerget.
vJasper Morris: 90-92 Points
The domaine?s Monopole which Thibaud says does not need any whole bunch vinification. The colour is just as deep as the other 1ers Crus and with real elegance on the nose: you can see that it has the freshness and open style. On the palate this is on the inky side. I prefer the bouquet to the palate at the moment.
vBurghound: 89-92 Points
A pleasingly fresh and not quite as ripe nose exhibits notes of black raspberry spice and a violet top note. The sleek delicious vibrant and once again seductively textured flavors exude a subtle salinity on the dusty youthfully austere and slightly grippy but not really drying finish. This isn't as harmonious as the best in the range though it may well come together with a few years of bottle age as the
Wine Advocate: 92+ Points
The 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Clos du Verseuil wafts from the glass with lavish aromas of blackberries cherries dark chocolate and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied velvety and layered it's rich and fleshy with chalky structuring tannins that assert themselves on the back end and lively balancing acids. This is certainly marked by its élevage but it should develop well with some bottle age.
