Domaine Yvon Clerget - Volnay 1er cru "Clos des Angles" 2022

This Volnay 1er cru "Les Angles" is very pronounced and balanced.

Thibaud Clerget took over the family Domaine in 2015; one of the oldest Domaines in the village. The rebirth of one of Volnay’s little treasures then began with six hectares of vineyards located within the best climats* of Burgundy. The vineyard of 1er cru “Les Mitans” is located just below the village of Volnay and its vines are 30 years of age on average.

The 2022 Volnay Clos des Angles 1er Cru is another maiden release after Clerget's acquisition. This is actually aged in two WineGlobes and includes 50% whole bunches. The open nose has more black than red fruit, the stem component quite pronounced. Quite reductive at the moment. The medium-bodied palate is well-balanced with slightly chalky tannins. The fruit is a bit darker than the En Carelle with a strict, maybe too strict, finish. Incidentally, Clerget mentioned that the next vintage combines the WineGlobe with regular barrels. 89-91 pts - Neal Martin, Vinous.

100% Pinot Noir
