    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Fruity but not lacking complexity- this is such generous juicy silky Volnay and won’t fail to win many friends. Gregarious, open red berry and sweet victoria plum flavourstinged with a note of blood orange flood the senses - soft, full and fresh this is as complete, sensual and seductive as it gets! A big vineyard in the middle of prime Premier Cru Volnay territory on the south side of the village below Taillepieds, well exposed to the south east. The soil is redder here than higher up the slope. At the top of the vineyard the soil is very rocky but becomes deeper and more clay influenced towards the bottom of the slope, giving some of the most complete Volnays that, despite ageing very well, can be extremely rewarding in youth.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2019 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru follows the Taillepieds and maybe it should have been the other way round since this is much more closed and broody. Earthy red berry fruit, touches of truffle and bay eventually emerge from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with solid backbone, not the most elegant Champans as there is a bit of grip and sinew on the finish. But because of that I suspect it will age extremely well. Keep a cellar handy.
