The 2022 Domaine Roblet-Monnot Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds is a superb expression of one of Volnay’s most revered Premier Cru vineyards. Situated on steep, stony slopes, Taillepieds is renowned for producing wines of exceptional finesse, minerality and longevity. Under Pascal Roblet’s meticulous organic and biodynamic farming, the vineyard delivers a wine that combines the concentration of the outstanding 2022 vintage with the precision and elegance that define this celebrated site.
The nose reveals vibrant aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry layered with rose petal, violet and delicate spice. The palate is refined and intensely focused, with pure red fruit supported by silky tannins, bright acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Elegant yet powerful, it finishes long and seamless, displaying remarkable energy, complexity and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A serious Premier Cru Volnay that beautifully showcases the pedigree of the Taillepieds vineyard. Its combination of perfume, structure and mineral precision makes it a superb match for duck, quail, roast veal, mushroom dishes and fine French cuisine. While captivating in its youth, this wine will reward patience and can be cellared confidently through 2040+ as it develops greater savoury depth and complexity.
