Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
This is an exceptional example of one of Volnays finest Premiers Crus. The quality of fruit and ripeness of stalks and pips was such in 2023 that, unusually, Nicolas decided to whole bunch vinify 20% of the fruit. In doing so, he has absolutely hit the jackpot. This is an exceptional wine: sweet, juicy, wild berry fruits, vigorously full of life with a fine drive of mineral texture, firm on the finish, with great length. High class in every way.
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.
