Description / Reviews
"Thibaud Clerget took over the family Domaine in 2015; one of the oldest Domaines in the village. The rebirth of one of Volnay’s little treasures then began with six hectares of vineyards located within the best climats* of Burgundy. The vineyard of 1er cru “Les Mitans” is located just below the village of Volnay and its vines are 30 years of age on average.
The nose is delicate with profound notes of red fruits, rose petals and black fruits. The palate is refined and delicate with some candied fruits going through to the finish with ample energy and freshness. It can be paired with charcuterie, charcoaled meat, a large array of cow’s milk cheese and roast poultry. Drink now with 35 minutes of decanting or keep up until 2026 and beyond." - Clos Cachet, Importer
"The 2023 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru is vinified with 50% whole bunch and the same percentage of new oak. This has a tight bouquet that needs more coaxing than the Sous la Chapelle, the oak perhaps needing more time to be subsumed. The medium-bodied palate is fresh, taut and vibrant with crunchy red fruit and a pretty, sorbet-fresh, lightly spiced finish. Another superb Volnay courtesy of Clerget." - 94-96 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
