Tasting notes
The 2021 Volnay 1er Cru Champans is performing beautifully in bottle, bursting with aromas of raspberries, orange zest, peonies and baking spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's deep, pure and perfumed, with melting tannins and a mouthwatering finish. It's further evidence that consumers may live to regret neglecting the best 2021s.

Gloriously broad, charming fruit. Intense but ethereal somehow! Dry finish and nothing luscious about this but there is great purity again. Lightly sandy tannins in evidence. (JR)
The 2021 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru belts out of the glass with blackberry, raspberry and crushed stone aromas, the most vigorous of the Premier Crus at this juncture. Wonderful definition. The palate is harmonious, poised, and demonstrates more substance than the other crus with a slightly confit finish that lingers seductively. This could age magnificently - a victory in a challenging growing season that deserves a hearty applause.
