Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
From the warmer Clos de Angles site in the centre of Volnay, the clay soils here produce a broader style and a wine that is always self-assured. Perfumed with bramble fruit, black cherry, and violets, there is an inky intensity as reflected in its dark hue. The palate is lively, with more dark fruit held aloft by electrifying freshness and supportive tannins akin to a bassist surfing the waves of an enraptured crowd.
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.
