The vineyard is on marl-limestone soils, which give the wine its power and ability for long aging. Domaine François Buffet has two parcels here: “young vines” around 50 years old and old vines around 80 years old, lending concentration and natural complexity. The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was mixed, with a cool, rainy summer until mid-August, then a heat wave that accelerated ripening, resulting in wines with rich structure, a blend of freshness and roundness. Wines are matured in barrel over 22 months, with one racking in the summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is described as “tannique, tout en conservant une très belle finesse séduisante” – tannic, yet retaining a very beautiful, seductive finesse. The nose is expressive, full of fruit and floral notes, with a dark, spicy side. On the palate, it has a silky, tannic bite, buckets of fruit, and a long, peppery finish. A related 2023 Volnay (Champans) from the same domaine shows lifted aromas of red cherries, crushed strawberries, and a whisper of violet, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a saline minerality leading to a persistent, spice-kissed finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing and Cellaring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at 17–18°C. The wine has great aging potential due to its terroir and 18 months of oak aging. A similar 2023 Volnay 1er Cru from another producer has a drinking potential of 8 years. It pairs ideally with oeufs en meurette (eggs in red wine), white meats, risotto with morel mushrooms, roasted poultry, and medium-aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omtis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47793493213355,"sku":"IO017-23","price":668.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3023\/7867\/files\/francois_buffet_volnay_1er_cru_clos_des_chenes_1_1_1.jpg?v=1789203416","url":"https:\/\/www.regiswine.com.hk\/products\/francois-buffet-volnay-1er-cru-clos-des-chenes-2023","provider":"Regis Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
