The 2020 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionées is even better, wafting from the glass with deep fruit tones evocative of plums and raspberries, complemented by hints of raw cocoa, loamy soil and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and seamless, with lively acids and a long, penetrating finish.

Deeper and more age-worthy, the 2019 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionées delivers pretty notions of rose petals, violets, plums and berries, complemented by rich bass notes of loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's bright and penetrating, built around refined tannins and tangy acids.

The 2018 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionées is a stunning communal bottling in the making, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, cherries, sweet soil tones, raw cocoa and candied citrus peel. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, mineral finish. This will be well worth seeking out.

The 2017 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionées is showing well, wafting from the glass with notes of cassis, red berries, raw cocoa and orange rind. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, deep and nicely concentrated, with more depth and dimension than the domaine's regular Volnay, framed by chalkier tannins that will reward bottle age and concluding with a sappy finish.

The 2015 Volnay "Vendanges Sélectionées" comes from terroir that Frédéric deems not premier cru, but can create what he sees as a "vin de garde"—a wine for ageing. The nose is actually more backward than the village cru at the moment and demanded quite a bit of coaxing from the glass. The palate is where the difference lies, as there is a touch more tension and energy here, especially on the tart red cherry and strawberry finish that lingers long in the mouth. It needs to knit together by the time of bottling, but there is certainly substance and density to this Volnay that should achieve its raison d'être.
