2011 Volnay Premier Cru "Les Angles" Louis Boillot, Burgund

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2011 Volnay Premier Cru "Les Angles", Louis Boillot

Discreet wood sets off the more complex and slightly riper dark berry fruit and earth suffused aromas. There is good volume and verve to the attractively well-detailed flavors that exhibit a plush mouth feel to the mid-palate, all wrapped in a moderately austere finish that just barely avoids a sense of dryness. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2013

Vinous - 2011 Volnay Premier Cru "Les Angles", Louis Boillot

The 2011 Volnay Les Angles has developed beautifully over the last year. In particular, the fruit is much more generous and expressive than when the wine was in barrel. Sweet tobacco, dark cherries, plums, cloves and mint are some of the many notes that are layered into the persistent, energetic finish. - Antonio Galloni, März 2014
