The 2018 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru has an absolutely glorious bouquet of perfumed black cherries, blueberry, potpourri and light violet aromas that are understated and yet focused and delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with a precise opening, and very harmonious and sensual. Pure, mineral-driven red fruit defines the effortless finish. Stunning. 93-95 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
The 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Mitans is built for the long haul, unwinding in the glass with notes of cassis, dark chocolate, sweet soil tones and potpourri. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with an ample chassis of rich, powdery tannins and lively balancing acids. 92 – 94 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
From Mitans proper. A wonderfully pure, airy and attractively fresh nose requires plenty of swirling to reveal the spicy red currant cherry, floral and herbal tea scents. There is excellent intensity to the mineral-driven middle weight flavors that possess a supple mid-palate that is almost delicate while displaying fine length on the silky-textured finish. A classic Mitans of lace and grace. 91-93 points, Allen Meadow, Burghound

Unique pinot noir, with very fine nose of dark fruits, black cherry, sweet spice, petrichor and lavender. For all it’s character and vividness of flavour, this is still a pinot noir and has a lightness of touch on the palate. Silken and smooth, with threaded texture and lanolin tannins and abundant acidity. Casual, cool and […]
Read moreDeep colour, dusky red with a trace of purple in the meniscus; the bouquet is initially big on stalky whole-bunch fermented characters, root vegetables, gradually giving way to dark cherries and dark plums. The palate is full and rich, a bigger bone pinot showing generous smoky oak character as well, bright acidity energising the finish […]
