Goedhuis, December 2016
This vineyard lies on the Pommard side of the village, and in 2015 there is a nice tension between violet perfume and vibrant dark cherry flavours. The palate is built around mellifluous tannins, and the long glossy finish is definitively Volnay.

Neal Martin, December 2016, Score: 89-91
The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans has fine transparency on the nose with airy red berry fruit, sous-bois and a touch of white chocolate. The palate is very well balanced with succulent tannin, quite sweet with bay leaf and vervain tea towards the finish. Very refined and poised, I would just like a tad more intensity once this is in bottle. Drink Date 2018 - 2028

Region
Volnay
A red wine appellation only, wines from Volnay might be considered the most revered of southern Burgundy. They have been celebrated since the 18th century for their delicacy. But they are not fruit forward like those of Beaune or Chorey Lès Beaune nor have the brooding structure of Pommard.Instead, they have superb linearity, focus and poise while sheathed in velvety tannin. This slightly reticent personality comes out even more with a bit of age, though some can be approached very young. There are no grand cru vineyards in Volnay, but there are some excellent premier cru examples including Volnay Les Champans and Volnay Les Caillerets. Chardonnay grown in the shared Santenots vineyard must be labelled as Meursault.
