Amiot is the one.
Yeah, anyone know what happened to the vines? Amiot = Truchot, more or less. Could be utterly stunning.
Are we talking about Pierre Amiot?
Bernard is what was on the label.

Yes, Pierre Amiot wines are meh. Bernard was a different story.

though anyone who can't figure out the meaning of "symphonic wine" from the contrast with "chamber wine" is probably beyond saving anyway.

Volnay, meh.
I'm with you - not to say I don't like volnay bt just so long as it's not served with "comparable" CdN wines - then I find the volnays to be noticeably less precise. Well, perhaps except for d'angerville.
But I do think volnay was better when it was cheaper. That is, how it was priced vis a vis CdN premier crus. Wineboards (not this one) have made volnay "cool" (perhaps because, like merlot, it's a name easy to pronouce!) and therefore overpriced relatively and generally speaking.
Had over a dozen 2010 Volnay ( is that the plural of Volnay? ) yesterday, the usual suspects, and can't say I have anything new to contribute ( then why the hell is this guy bothering to post, you may ask ). They really do seem too expensive for what they are, but not only vs. CdN, as Maureen suggests, but next to better examples from Pommard, Beaune, Savigny, Pernand. I can even score a great Corton for what I'd pay for one of these things.
You may argue that there is greater power and complexity here, but I find that it comes at a price (no pun intended). While great Cote de Nuits can be made ambitiously, they still maintain just enough detail for the geek to deconstruct down to whatever their fancy may be - mineral, earth, plant or animal, lady bug, etc. Here such detail is, at best, shoved into a time capsule - either due to overwhelming exoticism of complex fruit as in Lafarge, or a superimposed structure and polish as in d'Angerville. I would not mind seeing many of these wines as simpler, more austere, more "analog". And yes, definitely cheaper.
