Good dark red. Cool black cherry aroma lifted by a stony quality. A step above the preceding samples in both juiciness and finesse; in fact, a real high-wire act of captivating sweetness and bright acidity. Very fine-grained, serious wine with excellent grip and length. Score: 91 - 93 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 January 2018 |

The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans includes two-thirds whole cluster fruit and around 30% new oak. Around one-quarter of the vines suffered frost damage here. It has a more charming bouquet than the Champans, the whole bunch neatly disguised and lending discrete definition and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin and well-judged acidity. It's quite structured like the Les Champans; however, I discerned more grace and finesse here. Score: 90 - 92 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2020-2035 29 December 2017 |

Barrel sample. Deep cherry red. Riper and richer cherry fruit in the aroma than the Grèves. But on the palate it has a wonderful texture – elegant, dry yet just flows across the palate in this gorgeous finely tannic texture. Delicate and fresh and so elegant. Delicate and very persistent. You could probably approach this before the Grèves but it has good ageing potential. Score: 17 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2022-2032 28 November 2017 |
