Tasting Notes

The young vines of this plot make it a purplish coloured wine, with a very intense fruity nose from the first nose. It is undoubtedly a Volnay with character, full in the mouth and always carried on the fruit felt at the beginning. It is a wine that can be enjoyed this year or can be enjoyed for a long time in your cellar!

Critic Scores

Rich, perfumed and a little heady, this comes from the very south east section of the vineyard. 100% whole bunch to bring more vibrancy to the fruit, this is deep and complex. Will not last as long as some of his other wines, but for now this is a wonderful wine.

A plot of three ouvrées, half in premier cru and half village, so sold as the latter. Made from young vines which suffer in the heat and drought so Romaric has opted for 100% whole bunch vinification. Compared to the Bourgogne, this Volnay has a lighter softer colour and an overwhelmingly floral whole bunch bouquet. Nearly a bit pruny and nearly a bit dry, but lovely all the same with rich strawberry scented roses. Imperfect perhaps but individual and interesting.

About this Wine

Domaine Chavy Chouet

Two families, two villages on the Côte d’Or linked by a love for terroir over seven generations… After six years at a specialist winemaking school and with plenty of experience in winegrowing and vinification around the world under his belt, Romaric has given the estate a makeover. He has been running it single-handedly since 2006, watching over his 15 hectares of vines with a rigorous eye. He is proud of his roots, and his approach combines rigour, tradition, and innovation.

Burgundy

Burgundy is undoubtedly the home of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnays in the world, where vineyards, or Domaines have been producing wines for over 2000 years. Burgundy is located in the North-east of France, an hours drive from Lyon and 2 hours from Paris. With over 100 appellations, or sub-regions (more than any other wine region) Burgundy is known for being the most terroir-oriented region in the World. The finest red wines of Burgundy are found in the Côte d'Or, a string of villages including Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey St Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-St Georges.

There are flavours present in great Burgundys that are the envy of Pinot Noir producers worldwide. The elusive peacocks tail finish that goes on and on, and the pretty-elegance backed by Burgundy muscle is the goal of winemakers around the globe. The main levels in the Burgundy classifications, in descending order of quality, are: Grand crus, Premier crus, village appellations, and finally regional appellations. For the Chablis wines, a similar hierarchy of Grand Cru, Premier Cru and Village wines is used, plus Petit Chablis as a level below Village Chablis.
