Tasting notes
Full bottle 1,363 g. The label says Rougeottes, not Clos de la Rougeotte – we're using the Sylvain Pitiot name for the premier cru. There is a remarkable, hypnotic creaminess that sort of offsets and lifts up the intensity of the silky sweetness of this crimson-breasted wine with its feathered tannins. It’s a wine that takes wing on murmurations of iron without weight across sky without boundaries. Iron, flower, cherry, long alto, bleeding red into all the spaces. Fine and flying. (TC)

Paler crimson than this producer’s Champans. Light and lifted and extremely juicy and charming with a light saline note. Lots of fun and finesse. (JR)
The 2023 Volnay Clos de la Rougeotte 1er Cru has a linear, correct bouquet with darker fruit than the 2022 last year. It's a little introverted compared to its peers. The palate is ripe and forward with quite sturdy tannins. It's a little Pommard in style, but it just cuts away too fast on the finish.
