Vinous: 92 Points
The 2020 Volnay Champans ler Cru comes from a single parcel. This has an overtly floral bouquet with wilted rose petal and iris flower permeating the vivacious red fruit, perhaps one of the aromatics from Bouley that exhibit the most clarity. The palate is very well balanced, intense rather than powerful with a silver bead of acidity, very spicy towards the finish where there is a touch of reduction, touches of pain d'épices on the finish. This has almost 15° alcohol but it does seem to carry it well.

The 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes opens in the glass with aromas of dark berries, smoke, spices and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, rich and broad-shouldered, its fleshy, velvety attack segues into a deep mid-palate and a firm, chewy finish. This, too, will require some patience.
