Marquis d’Angerville Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds 2022

Burghound Don't miss! Outstanding ♥ - Ripe yet attractively fresh aromas of wet stone, plum and a range of floral elements gives way to the super-sleek, intense and delicious flavors that possess a lovely texture on the youthfully austere, hugely long and linear finale that is pungently mineral in character. This is also very classy though note well that like all classic examples of Taillepieds, it's compact, backward and is a wine that absolutely needs time. 93-95PTS Allen Meadows, Burghound

The 2022 Volnay Les Taillepieds 1er Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet, as I wrote before, just "pure Pinoté." It shows hints of blood orange that I did not notice from barrel or have since developed. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins that belie the almost Pommard-like backbone of this Volnay. Sapid and quite direct on the finish, this should age with style. Excellent. 94PTS Neal Martin, Vinous
