Goedhuis, December 2022
This vineyard lies at the foot of Les Caillerets, but its soil composition is quite different; more clay and pebbles result in a fuller, broader style of Volnay. A deep and intense wine, dark cherry, hints of black forest, pepper and spice. The firmer clay soil contributes to the muscle and feeling of direct power. The tannins sit tightly underneath, breathing freshness and energy into such an excellent wine.

This is my pick of the Rossignols. It is more expressive and textural than the others and is precisely what I look for in elite Volnay. The tannins are fresh and clean, and the potential is clear. Medium-weight, nicely detailed, and with a long finish, you will be rewarded if you can wait for it to unfurl fully.
Region
Volnay
A red wine appellation only, wines from Volnay might be considered the most revered of southern Burgundy. They have been celebrated since the 18th century for their delicacy. But they are not fruit forward like those of Beaune or Chorey Lès Beaune nor have the brooding structure of Pommard.Instead, they have superb linearity, focus and poise while sheathed in velvety tannin. This slightly reticent personality comes out even more with a bit of age, though some can be approached very young. There are no grand cru vineyards in Volnay, but there are some excellent premier cru examples including Volnay Les Champans and Volnay Les Caillerets. Chardonnay grown in the shared Santenots vineyard must be labelled as Meursault.
