This vineyard has been owned by the Lafarge family since the domaine was founded, and is arguably their most famous wine. It is often serious and intense in its youth, but actually, the 2020 has a wonderful sweetness of fruit and pretty minerality, it’s hard to imagine it shutting down. Nevertheless, experience dictates that this wine will benefit from some time in the cellar, and given time, its true potential will be realised.
This wine is now sold out. Please get in touch with your advisor or one of our team on [email protected] or 01473 313 300 for more information or guidance on an alternative.
The 2020 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has (yet another) beautifully defined bouquet with black cherries, briary, crushed stone and pressed iris petals, unfolding with each swirl of the glass. You could nose this all day! The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly sappy entry, quite dense, grippy and voluminous, tapering slightly towards a cohesive and quite elegant finish. Utterly refined.
