Tasting notes
Much more substantial and interesting than Les Grèves. Pencil-shavings texture, but really ripe fruit and interest. Could be a long-term bet. (JR)

Utilizing 50% whole clusters, the 2023 Volnay Les Taillepieds 1er Cru has a fragrant bouquet with red cherries, strawberry fruit and potpourri, with the stems more assimilated here compared to the Les Mitans. Fresh and saline, the palate is medium-bodied with finely knit tannins and a brittle, chalky-textured finish. Give this at least a couple of years in bottle. This is very promising.
