Tasting notes
The 2021 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a more open-knit bouquet compared to the preceding raft of Beaunes. Bright red fruit, crushed stone and a touch of peony. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins, fine acidity, though I find this a little shallow towards the finish compared to the Cuvée Carnot.

Aromas of dark berries, loamy soil, incense and spices introduce the 2021 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes, a medium to full-bodied, concentrated and rather introverted, structured young wine that numbers among the 2021s that will require a bit of patience.
