Premier Cru Red Burgundy
/
92 points The Wine Advocate
The 2023 Volnay 1er Cru blends Pitures and Mitans to deliver a delicate, velvety red redolent of plums, cherries and sweet berries. Medium-bodied, suave and succulent, it will offer a broad drinking window.

The 2023 Volnay 1er Cru, a blend of Les Pitures and Les Mitans (mostly the former as the latter is partially uprooted) has slightly lower alcohol than the Village, though it still sports quite an extrovert bouquet compared to other vintages: ripe red cherries, crushed strawberry and candied orange peel aromas. The palate is quite sweet and candied, fleshy, quite plush with touches of fig and white pepper toward the finish. Not bad, though my predilection is for the 2022 over the 2023.

Made from two parcels in the Volnay Premier Cru appellation which total almost one hectare: Les Mitans (0.65 hectare) and Les Pitures (0.31 hectare), and depending on the vintage, sometimes young vines from Têtes de Cuvée plots such as Clos des Ducs, Champans or Taillepieds are included. Les Mitans (the plot is located in the climat previously called Ormeau), is located at the lower limit of the premier crus of Volnay, in fairly deep soil. The soil of Pitures, adjacent to Clos des Ducs, halfway up the slope, is marly limestone.
