Burghound (90-93)(from 35+ year old vines). Here too the expressive red cherry and raspberry-suffused nose is perfumed and even spicier. The sleek, vibrant and more refined middle weight flavors exude evident minerality on the slightly more vibrant finish where a touch of bitter pit fruit character slowly emerges. This is lovely and understated. |

Wine Advocate (88-90)The 2014 Volnay 1Er Cru les Brouillards has a mixture of red and black fruit, wilted violets developing in the glass, quite refined and yet gaining intensity all the time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit. There is a touch of rusticity here, a little ferrous towards the finish, although it has commendable substance and length. |

Vinous (91-93)Dark red-ruby. Complex, dark nose melds blackberry, black raspberry, minerals, licorice, spices, mint and violet; reminded me a bit of a very fresh Cabernet Franc! At once dense and juicy, offering subtle soil tones and excellent purity and cut. This very fine-grained, dry wine finishes vibrant and alive. |

Vinous (87-89)The 2017 Volnay Les Brouillards 1er Cru offers lifted, tertiary red berry fruit that develops a subtle mintiness with time. The palate is well balanced, though not complex, and quite blocky at the moment, although there is decent weight on the finish. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Volnay Les Brouillards 1er Cru has a fragrant bouquet of raspberry preserve, crushed strawberry and cranberry aromas that are neatly entwined with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins. A big-boned Volnay, quite spicy in the mouth, with black pepper and graphite notes toward the grippy finish. This has good long-term potential. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2019 Volnay Les Brouillards 1er Cru immediately hits a level up from Les Angles, offering scents of vibrant red berry fruit, sous-bois and a hint of morels, all delineated and focused. There is much more brightness and energy on the palate of black plum, raspberry and allspice, leading to a nicely structured, quite peppery finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2020 Volnay Les Brouillards 1er Cru has a very perfumed bouquet with violet-tinged dark cherry and boysenberry fruit, expanding nicely in the glass with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite lithe and smooth in the mouth with a touch of white pepper on the finish. Give this three or four years in bottle just to coalesce. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Volnay Les Brouillards 1er Cru, which according to Clément Boillot, is picked a little later these days. It displays one of the Domaine's most attractive bouquets with quite vivacious dark cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, more concentration than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, a little brittle in texture but fine tension. What is lacks in length it compensates with vigour. Worth seeking out. |
