2022 Jean-Michel Gaunoux Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards

From a very small plot of 55 year old vines.

90-93 Points, Matthew Hemming MW  – “Fragrant red berry and cherry fruit.  Nicely perfumed on the palate, with brightly-scented berries and a savoury framework beneath. Expressive and fluid with tannins that are firm but well-knit.”

90-92 Points, Neal Martin - “The 2022 Volnay Les Brouillards 1er Cru has the most attractive nose amongst the reds I tasted from Gaunoux this year: crisp and well-defined, dark red plummy fruit intermixed with loamy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, but there is more precision and tension on the finish than the Clos des Chênes, and as such, it should age well in bottle. Very fine..”
