Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

88-(6-2000)
The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Volnay Champans offers highly expressive and pure red cherry aromas, On the palate, it is medium-bodied and has an excellent density of cherry, blackberry, and cassis fruit. It is a firm, concentrated, structured wine.

91 / 100

Wine Spectator

(6-2002)
Firmly structured, intense and showing good sweet fruit character on the midpalate. Impressive concentration of blackberry, sweet oak and toasted notes. A big wine that will need time to come around.

Autre

La robe est superbe, intense, très foncée. Les fruits sont généreux et agréables, sur des notes de mure, cassis et framboise. Les tanins sont agréables et présents, les acidités sont très bonnes, dominées par l'acide tartrique. Les vins sont au niveau des 90 en qualité, avec un tempérament moins sudiste et plus raffiné. Sans doute le plus joli millésime de rouge du domaine que je connaisse.
