Score 90/100 · Drink 2023-2040, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Apr 2020
The most tightly wound of these young reds is the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes, a medium to full-bodied, rich but succulent wine that evokes notions of spiced plums, cassis and loamy soil. This will really blossom with a few years in the cellar.

The 2018 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru offers a mixture of red and black fruit, veins of blue fruit and lovely floral notes coming through with aeration, and the oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins that frame the black currant and bilberry fruit. A dense Volnay with an attractive sappy finish.
