Tasting notes
The 2017 Volnay Les Angles 1er Cru felt a bit unclean on the nose, though I did not detect TCA. But the palate feels a little stripped. I will defer giving any score. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

Pale garnet. Lots of very charming, well-balanced, nuanced fruit from a producer that really deserves attention in his own right. (JR)
The 2017 Volnay Les Angles 1er Cru was picked on August 28 since it always ripens early. It has slightly smudged dark plum and boysenberry scented bouquet that needs more definition. The medium-bodied palate offers light red berry fruit laced with marmalade and quince, though it pulls up a tad short on the finish.
Boillot began his harvest on August 28 with the 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles, an ample, gourmand wine bursting with notes of sweet blackberries, cassis, subtle spices and wood smoke. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and open-knit, with juicy acids and a pure finish.
