Score 88-90/100 · Drink 2016-2028, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Dec 2014
The 2013 Volnay 1er Cru Champans was lightly hit by hail and was 100% destemmed, with 25% new oak. It has a deep garnet color and a very straitlaced, linear and verging on monotone nose at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied, again very linear with well-judged acidity and good structure, if not the complexity of other recent vintages. There is a slightly brittle feel in the mouth, a “bony” Champans almost akin to a Pommard, but one that I think might age better than it is showing at the moment.
