Goedhuis Waddesdon, July 2024
This village cuvée offers a perfect representation of Volnay from vines aged between 45 – 83 years, situated just below Premier Cru Les Carelles. A warmer site, this is full of sumptuous ripe summer pudding fruits. The combination of generosity and a red iron soil tension provides a delicious balance between sweetness of fruit and grippy, layered texture. Such a great expression of bedrock terroir and freshness.

Goedhuis Waddesdon, July 2024
The red ferrous soil of this vineyard always produces a richly flavoured wine with great depth, and is amongst Thomas’s favourite parcels within his fine portfolio. A delicate smoky scent sits quietly underneath the perfumed bilberry and tayberry aromatics. On the palate there is a sensation of silky ripeness; the tannins are powdery and subtle in nature and the final sensation of saline freshness at the end gives further quality to this excellent cuvée.

William Kelley, January 2025, Score: 94
The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Carelle sous la Chapelle is very suave and integrated for a wine that can sometimes be one of the blockier cuvées in the range. Offering up notes of dark berries, cherries and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and layered palate, it's rich and textural, with ripe tannins and a sweet core of fruit. Drink 2027 - 2050. 94 points. William Kelley, Wine Advocate
