Vinous (93)The 2017 Pommard Les Rugiens-Bas 1er Cru has a clean, well-defined, terroir-driven bouquet that gains intensity with aeration. The beautifully proportioned palate delivers a fine bead of acidity, plenty of mineralité , and a precise, quite persistent finish that lingers in the mouth. Very fine and more-ish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

Vinous (92-94)The 2021 Pommard Les Rugiens-Bas 1er Cru has a slightly chalky nose, a mélange of red and black fruit and touches of undergrowth and autumn leaves. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, crisp and focused, quite elegant towards the finish with a long aftertaste. I can see this evolving over the long term.

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru includes 50% whole cluster and has a much more floral bouquet than the Mitans, with wilted rose petal percolating through the red fruit. The well-balanced palate is tannic on the entry. The brisk, terse finish indicates that it is in for the long haul. I like the salinity here. A rather uncompromising but satisfying/challenging Volnay.

Vinous (91-93)The 2020 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru has a perfumed, floral nose with traces of iris and violet infusing the blueberry and raspberry fruit, the 50% whole cluster neatly enmeshed. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, fresh and lively with a keen line of acidity, leading to a structured, quasi-Pommard, a little chalky with fine persistency. Closure: Diam

Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru has a very attractive bouquet with brambly, red berry fruit, white pepper and sous-bois scents, nicely focused with a subtle garrigues note. The palate is medium-bodied with fine depth, crisp and lively with a healthy dash of white pepper. Well-focused and harmonious, this is a fine Volnay Champans.

Wine Advocate (89-90)The de Montille 2005 Volnay Mitans displays a lovely nose of ripe cherry and flowers with an iodine mineral-medicinal note that, together with fruit skin tartness, follows on a highly-concentrated, impressively-layered, finely-tannic palate, with raw meat, floral and mineral suggestions dominating over any sweetness of fruit. The tightly wound finish here is smoky, pungent and subtly bitter. In two or three years one would be able to glean a clearer notion of this wine’s ultimate personality.

Vinous (91+)Good medium red. Captivating aromas of musky cherry, Oriental spices, incense and sexy oak nuances, plus a whiff of soft citrus fruits. Broad, rich and sweet, with good flesh for the vintage leavened by an edge of acidity that will require a year or two to harmonize with the wine. Finishes with building but integrated tannins and a slight youthful toughness.

Wine Advocate (91-93)The 2010 Volnay Mitans was made with 100% whole clusters and that comes through loud and clear in the wine’s expressive aromatics. Layers of silky red berries follow as the aromas and flavors take shape. Rose petals, spices and licorice are layered into the sensual, totally beguiling finish. The Mitans needs time for the stems to fully harmonize with the rest of the elements, but there is no denying it is flat-out delicious. This is a great effort from Etienne de Montille. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035.

Vinous (91-93)The 2017 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru is entirely whole cluster bunches and 30% new oak. It has quite an expressive and open bouquet with kirsch, wild strawberry and orange blossom aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy in the mouth, quite caressing but with good depth, a mixture of red and black fruit towards the lightly spiced finish. Perhaps one of the earlier drinking Volnays. This is very well crafted.

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru is 100% whole cluster and underwent one of the earliest malolactics, finishing by January 2019. It has a mixture of red and black fruit tinged with brown spices. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, the whole cluster so well integrated that you would guess it contained far less. The elegant finish is tinged with bay leaf and white pepper notes. Excellent.

Vinous (92-94)The 2020 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru is 100% whole cluster this year. Touches of white pepper and clove infuse the red fruit, undergrowth and hints of autumn leaves gradually evolving with time. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins on the entry. There is a mixture of red and black fruit with a touch of black pepper and allspice towards the structured, (again) Pommard-like finish. Closure: Diam

Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru is 100% whole clusters this year. That obviously comes across on the nose and slightly obscures the terroir expression, but there is just about sufficient fruit. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, crunchy dark berry fruit laced with Earl Grey and cracked black pepper with a short finish. Brisk and lively, though not long-term.

Vinous (92)Deep ruby-red. Superripe aromas of crystallized cherry, raspberry, marzipan and dark chocolate. Offers compelling sweetness and density, yet is currently rather unforthcoming in the middle. Still, this is a complete Volnay that combines finesse and power. Finishes very long, with substantial but fine tannins that spread over the entire palate.
