Fontaine Gagnard Volnay 1Er Clos Des Chenes 2023

The 2023 Volnay Premier Cru Clos des Chênes is a beautifully poised expression of Burgundy Pinot Noir, sourced from mature vines planted predominantly in 1940. Fragrant red cherry, wild raspberry and delicate rose petals unfold alongside subtle spice, orange peel and a restrained touch of oak. The palate is finely structured, with vibrant red fruit, fresh acidity and firm, elegant tannins lending precision and definition. There is a quiet concentration beneath its delicate texture, carrying through to a persistent, savoury finish. A classic Volnay Premier Cru with the depth and structure to reward several years in the cellar. Particularly suited to roast duck, game birds or wild mushroom dishes.
