The 2013 Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans, which was due for racking, has a slightly lean blackberry and undergrowth-scented bouquet that is nicely defined, but lacks a little vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins, but there is good acidity here, and a pleasant iodine note toward the finish. It is just missing a little substance for a Mitans.
