93-94 points/'Very Fine,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "Volnay Les Brouillards is on the Pommard border, and comes from vines between 55 and 80 years old – another excursion into old vines. The limestone topsoil gives lovely complexity, along with floral notes and tremendous depth. The fruit is both intense and complex – wild raspberries, framboise coulis. Another fine cuvée; I perhaps prefer the Santenots, but they are of equal quality. Drink from 2034. (1/6/21)"

91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "The vines date back to 1950 (0.83ha) and 1999 (0.27ha). Clear bright purple. The nose is especially heady, actually the most interesting of the three Volnay 1ers crus. Les Brouillards ripens later than its neighbours Les Angles and Fremiers. Superbly succulent, with a beautiful juicy deep black and red fruit. Good length. (Dec 2020)"

91-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.10 ha holding). A much more floral-inflected nose exhibits notes of violet, lavender and rose petal along with those of black cherry and plum. The texture of the medium-bodied flavors is a combination of power and refinement with an almost pungent minerality that adds a sense of lift to the firm and chiseled but not really austere finale. This too is really quite lovely and very Volnay - recommended. Drink: 2029+ (April 2022)"
