The 2022 Volnay Les Brouillards 1er Cru, which contains around 20% whole bunches, has a floral bouquet: wilted rose petals infusing the red berry fruit, a hint of baking powder coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and fine depth, quite sharp and citric towards the finish. Not a long or deep wine, but there's tension and angularity that I feel will enhance its showing at the supper table.

Aromas of sweet raspberries, orange zest, cherries and petals preface the 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards, a medium to full-bodied, lively and mineral wine with a pretty core of fruit, powdery tannins and a chalky finish.

A fine crimson ruby. The bouquet signals the density to follow, with a balanced, intense dark red fruit, and a little touch of velvet behind. The fruit acid balance is impeccable and the tannins ripe. Still very backward, with a tannin or two at the back reminding us that Brouillards is close to Pommard. Tasted Oct 2023.
89-92 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy (Jan 2024)
