Macerated cherry and berry flavors are allied to a dense wall of tannins in this muscular Volnay. Still, the fruit lingers on the finish, leaving a lasting, sweet impression. Best from 2022 through 2033. 400 cases made, 150 cases imported. — BS – Wine Spectator
The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes has a sensual and pure bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and violets aromas, well defined and seeming to “billow” from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and crisp acidity, good structure here with a grippy, almost Pommard-like on the slightly savory finish. There is certainly good potential here, pipping the 2014 in terms of quality. Neal Martin – The Wine Advocate
