Score 92/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2022

The 2017 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a perfumed, lifted bouquet of ample red cherry and strawberry fruit mixed with wilted rose petals. The palate offers sappy red fruit, orange peel and a touch of bitter lemon. Plenty of energy here; not powerful or deep, but full of tension. Powdery and bitter on the finish, but it improves dramatically in the glass. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. (NM)
