Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jan 24
The 2022 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a splendid bouquet vying with the Champans for supremacy - wonderful delineation and purity of fruit. The fine-boned, lace-like palate has well-judged acidity. It is perhaps even more refined on the finish than the Champans, the one cuvée that seems to convey a sense of effortlessness at this early stage. Great potential - Volnay from the top drawer.

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.
