Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Neal Martin - 05 Jan 23
The 2021 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a more backward nose compared to the Champans, without the same panache of amplitude. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, not quite as chiselled as the Champans, but with plenty of substance on the sinewy, more Pommard-like finish. Very fine.

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.
