Information
Le Clos des Chênes comes from the Volnay vineyard located between the legendary Meursaults (to the south) and Pommard (to the north). It features a limestone-marl subsoil comprising clay-limestone scree. This premier cru, grown alongside the hills of Monthélie, is one of 26 in this terroir. Vinified in vats for almost a month and matured for between 12 and 14 months in oak barrels, Le Clos des Chênes develops notes of red berries, white pepper and violet. These peppery aromas will enhance grilled meat or poultry. Sunnier vintages will require meats with a more pronounced, wilder flavour. This is a wine made for keeping, which will reveal its full potential after a decade of cellaring.
