Aromas of cherries, blackberries, rose petals, orange and spices introduce the 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's supple and lively, with fine tannins and bright acids.

The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles is sensual and charming, bursting from the glass with aromas of plums, raw cocoa, sweet spices and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's lively and textural, with a broad attack and a long, expansive finish.

Boillot began his harvest on August 25 with the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles, and the wine has turned out beautifully, soaring from the glass with a lovely bouquet of cherries, dark berries, peonies, orange rind and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, it's velvety and succulent, concluding with gentle back-end grip that will round out with additional élevage. In case anyone is wondering, the finished alcohol is 13.1%.

Boillot began his harvest on August 28 with the 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles, an ample, gourmand wine bursting with notes of sweet blackberries, cassis, subtle spices and wood smoke. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and open-knit, with juicy acids and a pure finish.

The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles was picked on 19 September at 13.5° natural alcohol because it is such a precocious vineyard. Also, this was not affected by the frost so there is a normal yield. It has a refined and elegant bouquet with wild strawberry and maraschino scents, the oak here nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with cranberry and raspberry preserve, spicier than the Grands Poisots with very fine tannins and impressive focus on the finish. Excellent.
