Volnay, Taillepieds, 1er Cru, 2021

justerini & brooks tasting note

Taillepieds has gravelly topsoil over limestone resulting in tight-grained powerful wine. These are the Domaine's oldest Volnay vines at 80 years old. Due to the size of the crop we were not able to taste this cuvée.

critic reviews

89-91/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2021 Volnay Les Taillepieds 1er Cru is two-thirds whole clusters instead of 100%. It has an attractive nose with white and black pepper notes that infuse the dark berry fruit with touches of black tea and bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, nicely balanced and quite fresh with a touch of spice towards the more understated finish. Fine.
