Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2005

Moderately saturated medium red. Perfumed aromas of red cherry, flowers and spices, with a very subtle herbal component. Then lush but not sweet thanks to rather penetrating acidity. Finishes impressively long, with very fine tannins and lovely lift.

Score 90-93/100 · Drink 2007-2017, Pierre Rovani, Jun 2004

The medium-bodied 2002 Volnay Champans offers a nose of violets, roses, and black cherries. Deep, intense, and concentrated, its personality is crammed with resiny cherries as well as jammy blackberries. This flavorful, sweet wine is a candidate for drinking between 2007 and 2017.

Score 89-92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2004

Quite closed on the nose, hinting at oak and licorice. Cooler and less showy today than the Clos des Chenes, but also fat and dense. A deeper, earthier style, while the above is more elegant and expressive. But this also has a firm acid structure. Still a bit tight on the end and in need of more time in barrel.
