Y Clerget Volnay 1er Cru Carelle Sous la Chapelle is a red wine produced from a 0.65-hectare plot of Pinot Noir vines located directly below the village of Volnay. This vineyard site sits just beneath the 1er Cru Bousse d’Or and features southeast exposure. The vines in this parcel are approximately 45 to 70 years old, depending on the specific section of the plot. The 2015 vintage is marked by ripe fruit expression, featuring notes of dark cherry, earth and subtle floral hints.

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Carelle Sous La Chapelle wafts from the glass with notes of ripe strawberries, plum preserve, licorice and raw cocoa. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, fine-grained and expansive, with good depth and amplitude, and a fine chassis of tannin that’s beginning to assert itself as the wine shuts down. While one senses the warmth of the vintage, this has the balance and structure to age.
90 Vinous
(from 20-year-old vines; aged in 20% new oak): Dark, saturated red. Powerful but reticent aromas of blueberry, black cherry and menthol. Rich and tactile but refined on the palate, with flavors similar to the aromas, plus a slightly exotic chocolatey element. Very good material here, especially for relatively young vines.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2018
