Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Oct 23
The 2013 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a lovely, carefree bouquet with lifted dark cherries, bergamot, Dorest plum and lightly damp loamy scents. It is not complex, but this is very charming (like most of Lafarge's wines). The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, slightly austere, moderate length, with a ferrous finish. This is drinking perfectly now but should continue to provide pleasure.

Volnay Fine Wine

Volnay

Volnay, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for elegant, refined Pinot Noir wines with silky texture, aromatic complexity, and graceful ageing potential. These wines feature delicate flavours of red berries, like cherry and raspberry, with floral notes and subtle earth and spice. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Crus like Les Caillerets and Clos des Chênes are highly esteemed for their finesse and depth. Top producers include Domaine Michel Lafarge, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, and Domaine Hubert de Montille, all dedicated to expressing Volnay's unique terroir.
