2023 Yvon Clerget 'Les Brouillards' Volnay 1er Cru

Region: Burgundy | Grape: Pinot Noir About The Wine The grapes are hand harvested, fully destemmed. Cold maceration for 5 to 7 days, the the whole process lasts for 15 to 20 days in a stainless steel tank. During maceration, pump-overs are used and the cap is pushed down once per day. The malolactic fermentation is done in 228 litre French oak barrels (20% new), then aged in barrel. Review "The 2022 Volnay En Bouillard 1er Cru is the first release from Clerget. The perfumed, floral bouquet offers rose petals and iris flowers infusing the raspberry and wild strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip. Fine structure, very transparent, and so that's not a huge grip on the finish. Elegant and refined, this will demand just three or four years before it should be opened." 90- 92 pts - Neal Martin, Vinous. 2022 review. About Domaine Yvon Clerget 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. A new acquisition by Clerget of this plot in the northern end of the appellation bordering Pommard.
