VOLNAY 1ER CRU
CLOS DES CHÊNES

Located on the heights of the Volnay hillside, at approximately 270 meters altitude, Clos des Chênes is one of the most emblematic climats of the appellation. Offering a breathtaking view of Volnay and Meursault, this terroir benefits from an oceanic climate with semi-continental influence. Its soil, composed of limestone and marl, gives the wines exceptional finesse and great aging potential.

TECHNICAL SHEET

TERROIR & VINIFICATION

The grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously sorted, ensuring optimal quality. Carefully vinified in our Beaune cellars, this wine undergoes a slow and meticulous aging of over 18 months in oak barrels, allowing its tannins to refine while preserving its natural elegance. This patience in the cellar reveals all the complexity and depth of this exceptional cru.

FOOD & WINE PAIRINGS

This wine perfectly accompanies roasted meats and game birds, particularly enhancing a slowly braised civet or a capon stuffed with porcini mushrooms served with mashed potatoes. It also pairs well with sautéed wild mushrooms and finds a perfect balance with delicate cheeses such as Brie, Chaource, and Comté.

Ideal serving temperature: 14 to 16°C.
