Description
94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): “This 1.51ha parcel of Taillepieds is located at the top of the hill in gravelly soils. The grapes were entirely fermented as whole clusters and the result is wonderful. Initially somewhat closed, it opens with time to show lovely plummy fruit, with a hidden reserve of floral and garrigue aromas, plus a marked saline character. The texture at this stage is somewhat severe, with firm, slightly austere tannins, but the density suggests it will open up with time. Drinking Window: 2022-2034. (Oct 2020)”
92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): “100% whole cluster. Pretty mid purple. Ravishing nose in its whole bunch style, and like all the wines, there is no hint of herbaceousness. A little firmer at the finish, quality fruit, well concentrated and with the right structure. Some white pepper in support of the deep dense fruit. (Oct 2020)”
92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): “The 2019 Volnay Les Taillepieds 1er Cru was showing a little more oak on the nose compared to the Champans. The 100% whole cluster lends some black pepper and clove notes to the aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, good density and grip and a bold but balanced, slightly earthy, spicy finish. Good potential but it will need time. Drink: 2024-2040. (Dec 2020)”
