The Volnay "Les Taillepieds" has little to envy to the great wines of the Côte de Nuits: it is a model of aromatic purity, precision and rigor in its construction. The definition of the nose is precise, pure, often floral, always mineral and spicy. The palate is structured with a very tight, dense, mineral tannic structure.
All these elements, the mineral, the purity, the rigor and the elegance evoke a Cistercian building which, like the abbeys, seems to defy time. Indeed, a "Taillepieds" can age and shine for decades.
Wine Advocate
- wa94
Aromas of peonies, plums, red berries, potpourri, warm spices and orange rind introduce de Montille's 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Taillepieds, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's deep and concentrated, with lively acids and supple tannins that assert themselves gently on the finish. As usual, this will require some patience.
Vinous
- v92-94
The 2019 Volnay Les Taillepieds 1er Cru was showing a little more oak on the nose compared to the Champans. The 100% whole cluster lends some black pepper and clove notes to the aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, good density and grip and a bold but balanced, slightly earthy, spicy finish. Good potential but it will need time.
