Domaine Yvon Clerget - Volnay 1er cru "Brouillards" 2022

This Volnay 1er cru "En Bouillard" is very finely structured with an elegant finish.

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 En Bouillard 1er Cru is the first release from Clerget. It includes 20% new oak and is fully de-stemmed. The perfumed, floral bouquet offers rose petals and iris flowers infusing the raspberry and wild strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip. Fine structure, very transparent, and so that's not a huge grip on the finish. Elegant and refined, this will demand just three or four years before it should be opened. 90-92 pts - Neal Martin, Vinous.

100% Pinot Noir
