This is one of many Volnay premiers crus that Marc-Olivier has at his fingertips. The site’s generous topsoil makes for a wine of appealing charm, marking it out as one of the earliest drinking of the Buffet Volnay premiers crus. As with all his 24s, the fruit is completely de-stemmed, and the wine has a sumptuous, succulent texture on the palate. It is sweetly- scented, with intense purity of fruit. Sensational.
The 2024 Volnay Carelle 1er Cru has a clean nose, nicely defined with strawberry and red cherries, just missing a bit of vigour but still conveying a sense of transparency. The palate is well balanced with more ripeness and generosity than the Le Village, a touch more grip with cranberry and even a hint of kirsch right on the finish. There's something playful about this Volnay, in a good way.
A fuller crimson. The same light and slight strawberry based nose, with good energy through the middle of the palate, and adequate acidity. The best finish to date. Drink from 2028-2032. Tasted Oct 2025.
