Notes:
Pretty, fresh and ripe aromas of purple fruit, violet and plenty of spice nuances lead to intense if not as concentrated medium weight flavors that flash impressive power on the very firm, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. Like several wines in the range, this is definitely built to repay extended cellaring. Burghound 90-92
Another intense purple colour. The bouquet has been knocked back a bit by a recent sulphur addition. No doubting the balanced intensity of the fruit, a correct degree of ripeness, the finish tightened up by the recent racking and treatments, but a wealth of classy dark berry fruit stretching out into a long finish. Needs more elevage to finish getting where it is going. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Oct 2024. Jasper Morris 91-93
The 2023 Volnay Clos des Chênes ler Cru is usually the standout amongst Bitouzet-Prieur's Premier Crus, and this is no different. Quite complex on the nose, it delivers a mélange of red and black fruit, iodine and incense, slightly richer than the 2022 yet still very well focused. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins and fine grip. Slightly bitter and sapid, it attenuates only slightly on the finish. Patience will be required. Vinous / Neal Martin 91-93
