Description of Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes

Estate

Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is a recognized producer in the Côte de Beaune, with 15 hectares primarily dedicated to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay cultivation. This family estate maintains traditional expertise paired with a constant pursuit of precision and elegance in its wines.

Vineyard

Located in Volnay, this vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir within the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy, famous for producing red wines with great finesse and delicacy. The limestone soils and local topography encourage deep root systems and harmonious ripening.

Wine

This 2023 Volnay Premier Cru is a red wine made exclusively from Pinot Noir. It expresses the subtlety and complexity typical of great Volnay wines, combining aromatic finesse with an elegant structure.

Vintage

The 2023 vintage, marked by relatively balanced weather, allowed for optimal ripeness of the grapes. This vintage promises a beautiful expression of fresh red fruits and a fine mineral tension.

Vinification and Aging

The vinification is carried out with great care for gentle extraction to preserve freshness and finesse. Aging takes place mainly in oak barrels, promoting subtle integration of woody notes while maintaining the wine’s balance.
