The 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards is a touch more structuring than the charming Les Angles, offering up aromas of cherries and red berries mingled with hints of peonies and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with lively acids and powdery tannins that assert themselves gently on the finish, it will reward some patience.

The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards has turned out especially well. Opening in the glass with aromas of red berries and plums mingled with sweet soil tones, hints of raw cocoa and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, with terrific concentration and beautifully refined tannins. Boillot observes, and I agree, that this site's tannins have become much more refined over the last five years.

Aromas of cassis, cherries and wild berries mingling with notes of warm spices and rich soil tones introduce the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards, a medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent wine that's elegant and penetrating, its ripe tannins cloaked in a sappy core of fruit.

The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards is another cuvée where the inherent suppleness of the vintage has tempered what can be a somewhat tannic site. Notes of smoky wild berries, spices and rose petals introduce a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and ample wine with good depth at the core and a long, fine-grained finish.

There are just two used barrels of the 2016 Volnay 1Er Cru les Brouillards this year that, unlike the Volnay Angles, was affected by frost. There are usually five barrels, according to Louis Boillot. It has a concentrated bouquet of kirsch, cranberry and wild strawberry flecked with brown spices and a touch of truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, firm in the mouth with much darker fruit than the Angles, a light marine influence toward the masculine finish. One for those that like the structure of Pommard in their Volnay.
