Decanter
Reviewed October 2025The Vendanges Selectionnée is a step up from the straight Volnay in both concentration and depth, with black and red fruits and notes of earth, leather and spice. The texture is more substantial and the finish is much longer, too. The grapes are from vines aged 50 years or more, located just underneath the band of premiers crus. Grapes are destemmed and fermented on native yeast before ageing in cask (10% new).

Pretty cherries, red berries and moss on the nose. The tannins are tight but a little dusty, with a medium to full body and a tight, savory finish, Drink from 2029.

10% new wood. A more definite purple colour. Lively raspberry, such stylish wines, not enormously more grip than the regular, perhaps an extra tannin at the very end, but the velvet covering lasts even longer at the back of the palate. Superb finesse Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Dec 2024.

Vinous
The 2023 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionnées comes from four selected parcels located just below the Premier Crus and matured in 10% new oak. This is a level up from the regular cuvée with more fruit intensity and presence, presenting raspberry and wild strawberry laced with undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive concentration, gentle grip and a slightly chalky texture toward its finale of frisson and energy. Very fine.(NM)
