Goedhuis Waddesdon, Deember 2024
Due to its location, Chevret is something of a mixture between neighbouring Santenots and Caillerets, but with a little more richness and less minerality on the finish. On the nose, there are wild blackberries, sweet cedarwood, and star anise, while the palate, with its corduroy-like tannins and soft texture, starts off gently before finishing with a mouthwatering, enlivening 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.
