Jasper Morris, 90-93 Points 

"Made up of Mitans and Pitures, though with part of Mitans pulled out. Fresh middling purple. The nose is quite discreet, and certainly better balanced, with a spicy peppery note to the fruit at the back of the palate, with good acidity. A refined and stylish Volnay 1er Cru that shows the benefit of years of biodynamic farming in its finesse. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Nov 2024." 

Burghound, 91 Points 

"A slightly fresher nose freely displays its notes of various red berries, especially cherry, along with subtle spice and soft earth nuances. The sleek, well-detailed and delicious middle weight flavors are not quite as dense though they are noticeably finer and with more minerality too on the dusty, youthfully austere and better-balanced finale. Lovely and understated in style." 

Vinous, 88-90 Points 

"The 2023 Volnay 1er Cru, a blend of Les Pitures and Les Mitans (mostly the former as the latter is partially uprooted) has slightly lower alcohol than the Village, though it still sports quite an extrovert bouquet compared to other vintages: ripe red cherries, crushed strawberry and candied orange peel aromas. The palate is quite sweet and candied, fleshy, quite plush with touches of fig and white pepper toward the finish. Not bad, though my predilection is for the 2022 over the 2023."
