From Domaine François Buffet in France’s Volnay, the Volnay 1er Cru Carelle Sous La Chapelle 2022 is a refined 100% Pinot Noir sourced from a 0.44-hectare parcel close to Thomas Bouley’s replanted section, on sandy, friable soils with a limestone base that impart finesse and vibrancy. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2022 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet elegant fruit—undergo whole-cluster fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 12-18 months' aging in French oak barrels (20-30% new) to enhance texture and purity. As a small domaine of 8 hectares with 6 Volnay 1er Crus, emphasizing sustainable practices, this production yields a ruby red wine with garnet edges and poised elegance.

Tasting Notes A refined, mid-weight Volnay with delicate violet and fresh red-berry notes, unfolding into vibrant, light-footed complexity and a stony, lingering finish from 60-year-old vines. The nose reveals raspberry, cherry, and hints of violet, spice, and forest floor. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of juicy red berries, earth, and a touch of minerality, leading to a long, graceful finish.

Awards and Accolades The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Carelle Sous La Chapelle earned 92 points from Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy) for its vibrant fruit and refined balance.

Serving and Cellaring Serve at 14-16°C with 30-45 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or charcuterie. Enjoy now through 2035, developing greater earthy and silky nuances over time.
