Tasting notes
The 2020 Volnay Les Angles 1er Cru has an exotic bouquet with figs and dates, moderate delineation and hints of animal fur. It becomes a bit feral in the glass. The palate is ripe and sweet with plush black fruit, voluminous and mouth-filling but missing nerve. There is a sense of flatness that creeps in towards the finish. This is more Vacqueyras than Volnay. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Aromas of cherries, blackberries, rose petals, orange and spices introduce the 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's supple and lively, with fine tannins and bright acids.
The 2020 Volnay Les Angles 1er Cru, the first to be picked as usual, has a rich and opulent bouquet yet it is nicely controlled with blueberry and black cherry fruit. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry, raspberry confit mixed with orange rind, fanning out nicely towards the lightly spiced finish. This will drink well young.
