Burghound (Allen Meadows) 93-95. Don't Miss.
“An incredibly perfumed, airy and cool nose speaks of anise, essence of red berry fruit, stone and floral hints. There is a distinctly textured mouth feel to the restrained and beautifully well-detailed and intense mineral-driven flavors that are an exercise in harmony and purity. This could rival many a Clos des Ducs from more exalted vintages and this will absolutely require long-term cellaring if you are to experience all that this exquisite wine has to offer. One of the 'wow' wines from the 2011 vintage.” (April, 2013)
Vinous Media (Neal Martin) 93
“The 2011 Volnay Clos des Ducs 1er Cru is showing extremely well. It is not the deepest in color and the bouquet demands some encouragement, but gradually reveals enticing smoke-infused red fruit, Earl Grey and earthy scents. Conservative and classic in style but very compelling. The palate is medium-bodied with an appealing, fleshy opening. There is a lovely suppleness to this Clos des Ducs with a persistent and seamless finish that flirts with ferrous-like notes on the aftertaste. Wonderful. Tasted at the annual Marquis d'Angerville tasting in London.” (May, 2019)
