Volnay 1er Cru Carelle Sous La Chapelle Domaine Chavy Chouet, 2022

Volnay is one of Burgundy’s most graceful Pinot Noir appellations, and Carelle Sous La Chapelle captures that elegance with a refined Premier Cru profile. From Domaine Chavy-Chouet, this 2022 release combines finesse, depth, and terroir-driven character in a style that speaks clearly of Volnay’s long reputation for supple, aromatic reds.

Tasting Notes
Expect a brilliant ruby colour with a clear, luminous edge. The nose typically opens with red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and subtle spice, while the palate brings a silky texture, fine-grained tannins, and a precise balance between freshness and ripe red fruit. As it unfolds, you may notice hints of earthy nuance, gentle oak, and a mineral-driven finish that gives the wine real definition. Volnay Premier Cru wines of this calibre can age beautifully, gaining more savoury complexity, darker fruit tones, and truffle-like depth over the next 8–12 years, depending on storage.

Production
Crafted from Pinot Noir in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, this wine reflects the cooler, limestone-rich soils that help preserve freshness and aromatic lift. The Premier Cru site of Carelle Sous La Chapelle benefits from an expressive terroir that typically yields wines of perfume, structure, and fine tension. Domaine Chavy-Chouet is known for careful vineyard work and a restrained approach in the cellar, allowing the character of the site and vintage to remain at the forefront. While specific vinification details are not provided, wines from this producer are generally made with a focus on purity, balance, and respectful oak use.

Food & Serving
This Volnay Premier Cru is an excellent match for roast duck, guinea fowl, mushroom dishes, grilled salmon, or braised veal. It also pairs well with soft, mildly aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to help the wine खुल up and show its aromatic detail.
