Vinous - Neal Martin (92-94)The 2023 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru was completely destemmed. As a result, I feel this has a more attractive fruit profile, with very well-defined red berry and light blood orange scents. The palate is balanced, fresh and vibrant. It has a lovely silky texture, but there is a real backbone to this Volnay, delivering a sorbet-like freshness and vivacity on the finish. This is excellent. |

Wine Enthusiast (97)Le Geynale is the producer's flagship Cornas sourced from top vineyard sites and old vines. Black cherry and plum flavors are dense and potent but nuanced by violet perfume and layers of iron, graphite and dried herb. Ripe, integrated tannins are appealing already but this massively complex wine begs further cellar age. It should reward drinking through 2040, likely further. |
