Racy, natural fruit with good structure. Juicy and sensuous flavors, with ethereal elegance and a long, tight finish. Tense and chewy for a Volnay. Drink from 2029.

The 2023 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a harmonious bouquet with slightly blacker fruit than the Caillerets, and hints of pencil shavings and bay leaf emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, fresh and quite saline yet certainly elegant, with an understated finish that lingers. It is already oozing class.
