Pretty and perfumed, the 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Angles wafts from the glass with notes of sweet red berries, plums, rose petals, raw cocoa and loamy soil. Medium-bodied, bright and fine-boned, it's lively and precise, with filigree tannins and an aromatic finish.

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Angles, from the lieu-dit situated at the bottom of the incline, was showing a little reduction on the nose when I tasted it from barrel. The palate is well balanced with thickset tannin lending weight and backbone to this Volnay, although it feels tightly-coiled and showed a little heaviness on the finish. I suspect this might be surpassed by the domaine's other premier crus this vintage.
