92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Volnay Clos de la Cave is showing beautifully in bottle, and Bouley observes that the fact that—despite its prime exposition—this site is in the shade by around 6 p.m. every evening complements its calcium-rich soils to lend it a notably ethereal profile. Wafting from the glass with scents of sweet berries, peonies, mandarin rind, raw cocoa and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and perfumed, with a bright spine of acidity, refined tannins and a lively, mineral finish. Drink: 2022-2045. (Jan 2021)"
'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A cooler and airier nose is comprised primarily by various red berry scents, and in particular cherry, along with hints of violet and lilac. The racy and chiseled flavors seem to be poised on a base of wet stone that really comes to the fore on the linear and tightly wound finish. Even so I suspect this will blossom relatively quickly. Drink: 2024+. (Apr 2020)"
