The best plots adjacent to the 1ers crus and with 10% new wood which the straight Volnay does not get. A little more fruit density on the nose, with a burst of red fruit energy on the palate, a tannin or two waiting to complete the rounding out process, the small percentage of new wood still evident at this stage. There is that much more to it than the regular Volnay in 2022. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Dec 2023.-Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
The 2022 Volnay Vendange Sélectionée comes from four lieux-dits that touch the Premier Crus, whose fruit has more complexity. The fruit is slightly darker and, yes, more complex than the regular cuvée. The palate is medium-bodied and very harmonious; the 5-10% new oak binds this cuvée together nicely. There’s good depth, again, maybe a little Pommard-like structurally with a dense nish. Great potential.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media
More seamless and enveloping, the 2022 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionées reveals notes of cherries, sweet berries, raw cocoa and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with powdery structuring tannins, it will offer a broad drinking window.-William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
