Critics reviews

Neal Martin 89-91/100

The 2022 Volnay Les Aussy 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet, just a touch of reduction, brambly red fruit intermixed with iodine and iris flower scents. Good lift and more focus than the Volnay Village. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins that feel quite saturated, imparting an enticing fleshiness towards the finish. Not the most complex Volnay, but quite delicious.

Drink 2026 - 2038

A clean-cut fresh purple. A more refined fruit laden bouquet than the ripely floral Beaune. Good energy throughout with a little extra energy at the back to justify the 1er Cru status of this little known vineyard. An attractive finish, very well balanced, concentration and delicacy.

Drink 2028 - 2035
