Volnay Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot 2022

Marianne Blom — This is the good stuff

9/10

I've been getting more into Burgundy lately and this Volnay is exactly why. So much going on — flowers, red berries, a bit of spice. Full bodied at 14% but doesn't taste boozy at all. Genuinely impressed for a village-level wine.

Mei-Lin Wu — Punches above its weight

8/10

My partner got me this for Valentine's and we split it over a steak dinner. For a village Volnay this has real depth to it. Ripe fruit, fine tannins, clean finish that hangs around nicely. The 2022 vintage seems to have done something right here. Would happily have another bottle on the shelf.

Luna Chavez — Decent, expected a bit more complexity

7/10

Had this at a restaurant and thought it was pleasant enough to track down a bottle. It's clean and well made with nice red fruit, but on the second glass I found it a bit straightforward. The finish is polite rather than exciting. Not bad by any means, just not a standout for me.
