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.
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.
