Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
A blend of four unique plots, housing vines aged between 10 and 60 years old, this is a complex wine that belies its village status. The limestone-dominant parcels at the top of the hill bring refreshing minerality and a bright fruit profile, with fresh red cherry and cranberry notes that make it charming from the off. Meanwhile, the heavier clay soils towards the bottom of the slope bring power and depth to the core of the cuvée; a superb example of Nicolas’s skill.
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.
