92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru, matured in 20% new oak, has an expressive and quite open, floral bouquet with red cherries, undergrowth, crushed strawberry and a touch of black tea. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, harmonious and poised with good substance towards the finish. This is very refined and classy. Closure: Diam 5. Drink: 2025-2042. (Dec 2021)" 93 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com) (2022).
92+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2020 Champans from Domaine Voillot seems just a tad riper than the Fremiets this year, as there is a touch of black raspberry that creeps into the black fruity nose of cassis, blackberry, coffee bean, a lovely base of dark soil tones, woodsmoke, pigeon and a gentle base of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and more obviously structured out of the blocks than the Fremiets, with chewy tannins, good focus and grip and a long, tangy and fairly powerful finish. This seems likely to be a bit more a stylistic creature of its vintage than the Fremiets, but it is very early days for both wines and it will be interesting to see how they evolve with the bottle age that both will require before they blossom. 2035-2085. (Nov/Dec 2021)"
