2022 Yvon Clerget Volnay

Burghound Outstanding Top Value ♥ – “Here too the more elegant nose reflects notes of black cherry along with hints of violet and anise. The sleeker and wonderfully precise medium weight flavors possess a lovely texture thanks to the abundant dry extract that serves to buffer and moderately firm tannins on the complex, balanced and lingering finale. This is an excellent Volnay villages.”
Decanter/Charles Curtis MW 94 – “Clerget’s village Volnay is a superb example of its type, with an expressive pomegranate and mulberry fruit tinged with rose petals, exotic spice, and earth. The texture is lush and rich, with silky tannins and an impressively lingering finish. The grapes are from Ez Echards, Les Petits Gamets, and other climats, and represent a hectare in total. The fruit was completely destemmed and gently vinified with no punching down and minimal active extraction. Ageing was ultimately in used casks to deliver this limpid, elegant example of Volnay.”
