Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 25
The 2023 Volnay Clos de Verseuil 1er Cru was from the first vines to be picked on September 6, fully destemmed with 30% new oak. One of the most mineral-driven cuvées from Clerget, this is very fragrant and detailed on the nose with hints of incense emerging slowly. The palate is medium-bodied with filigreed tannins. The stems impart a subtle white pepper note, nicely structured with impressive purity and length on the finish. There are few Volnays better than this in 2023.

Sensational fruit, overt crimson, just a school-pencil-worth rasp of tannins. Flute-like ripple of flavour. Not cheap but this is a wine that will bring so much pleasure for years to come. (TC)

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.
