As usual, this was the first parcel to be picked. It had already reached 13.5% by 18th August, and so they seized the moment. Louis mentioned it has much in common with Ghislaine’s Beaux Bruns, and if left to hang on the vine, the fruit can take on a black fruit meatiness. Their quick action in 2020 has kept it firmly in the vibrant red fruit camp. It has a nice spicy lift, reminiscent of ginger and cinnamon. The acidity sings here; it’s a wonderful wine.

The 2020 Volnay Les Angles 1er Cru, the first to be picked as usual, has a rich and opulent bouquet yet it is nicely controlled with blueberry and black cherry fruit. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry, raspberry confit mixed with orange rind, fanning out nicely towards the lightly spiced finish. This will drink well young.
