As usual, the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru is blend of Les Pitures and Mitans. More reserved than the Pommard that preceded it, the wine unwinds slowly in the glass, revealing enticing aromas of rose petals, red berries, blood orange, raw cocoa and deep soil tones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, charming and elegant, with lively acids and fine, chalky tannins. William Kelley – The Wine Advocate
A blend of Pitures and Mitans. Fine mid-crimson to purple in colour. This is leaner and more discreet than the village wine but with extra punch behind. Sweet cherry and raspberry fruit, especially at the back of the palate. Tasted: November 2019 Jasper Morris – Inside Burgundy
Tasting note: Here the nose is notably spicier if less earthy in character on the equally ripe though a bit more elegant aromas of various dark berries and violet hints. There is more restraint to the cooler and less powerful flavors that display only slightly more refinement before culminating in a solidly powerful and built-to-age finale. Allen Meadows - Burghound
