Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jan 24
The 2022 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru is another vineyard alongside Les Angles that suffers some degeneration. It offers dark berry fruit, sous-bois and light tobacco scents on the nose, veering towards Pommard in style. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannins. This cuvée has some greenness on the finish that Clément confirmed was caused by some blocked maturity in the vines.

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.
