Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 87-90/100
A dark colour throughout, almost black in the middle. This bottling is from Pluchots and Famines together, and there will also be a separate cuvée of Gigotte and Haut de Pluchots (5 barrels) . Dark berried fruit, possibly a chocolate note, rather heady for Volnay. Good acidity behind, just inside volatile threshold. Or maybe not. I pick up a touch at the back of the palate. 50% whole bunch vinification.Drink 2026 - 2031Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (December 2023)

About this wine

Jean-Yves Devevey

You wouldn’t know it from his laid-back manner, but Jean-Yves Devevey is a busy man. Built from scratch, his domaine today amounts to eight hectares of vines. His holdings can be described as “diminutive but demanding”, especially when one considers his exacting standards, including organic farming. A popular figure among his fellow Burgundian winemakers, Jean-Yves is also something of a maverick, who has been flying the flag for low-sulphur wines since 2010. Moreover, he’s the only Burgundian we work with to have planted Savagnin – sadly, the wine is not for sale.
