93 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com) (2023).

90-92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2021 Volnay Village exhibits more red fruit than the preceding Auxey-Duresses, infused with red brick and subtle oyster shell scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, slightly powdery in texture. Spicy, white pepper and bay leaf notes emerge towards the finish. Very suave. Drink: 2024-2036. (Jan 2023)"

90 points/'Outstanding/Top value,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from Les Grands Champs and Les Famines). A discreet but not imperceptible application of wood sets off equally fresh and cool aromas of plum, dark currant and subtle earth nuances. The finer but not denser medium weight flavors also exude evident minerality on the beautifully well-detailed finish that offers equally good length if perhaps not quite the depth, at least not yet. This is a very fine Volnay villages and well worth a look. Drink: 2028+. (Apr 2023)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(A blend of Grand Champ and Famines, racked a week ago.) Ooh, very pretty red fruits here – very inviting. Supple, waves of faintly cushioned red fruit – very attractive. That’s a really fine villages – simply excellent – very long finishing. A modestly reductive depth of aroma but this nose is quite silken. Wider, modestly textural from the tannin but hardly any grain. Really a juicy finish from this – thats a lovely attractive finish. The last drops in the glass are pure and lovely. (1/3/23)"
