2022 Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds, Domaine François Buffet

2022 Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds, Domaine François Buffet

This superb cuvée is made in tiny volumes, so there is very little to go around. Its one third whole-bunch adds a plush, pillowy texture that cushions the savoury backbone of this wine. This was absolutely brilliant in 2022.

Tasting notes

A horse ploughed and biodynamic plot. Fine fresh mid purple. There is an elegance to the nose ahead of the Clos des Chênes, ripe floral notes, roses, and a few breadsticks. This is very lovely on the palate in its slightly riper style, with an energy behind and a sense of harmony across the palate. Real finesse here. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted: October 2023.
