2023 Domaine Yvon Clerget Volnay 1er Cru 'Carelle Sous La Chapelle' Red Burgundy, Burgundy, France
"The 2023 Volnay En Carelle Sous La Chapelle 1er Cru was fully destemmed and matured in 25% new oak. Thibaut put a little more lees in the barrel to protect the wine, giving this a slight reduction on the nose, but it does not disguise the intense raspberry and blackcurrant fruit with touches of orange blossom. The palate is medium-bodied, very harmonious and poised with fine and pliant tannins, ebullient red fruit and a touch of white pepper on the finish. Superb."
