de Montille Volnay Champans 1er Cru 2020 (750ML)

91-94 BH / 90-93 JM

Tasting note: Here too moderate reduction renders the nose difficult to assess. The relatively delicate and refined middle weight flavors possess no lack of punch that carries over to the youthfully austere, complex and sneaky long finish that is quite tightly wound so patience advised. Outstanding. –Allen Meadows, Burghound

50% whole bunch, as Etienne and Brian think that this vineyard doesn’t work with more than that. Vibrant fresh purple in colour, slightly reductive nose, temporary, soon blows off to reveal another succulent deep red fruit, good thread of mineral acidity, strict concentrated fruit at the finish. Tasted: October 2021.—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
