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.
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.
