DOMAINE CHANZY Volnay 1er Cru 'Les Fremiets' 2022 Bottle (Pinot Noir) (los)

Description

Max Blondelle and his team have an impressive array of vineyards to work with, taking in 38 appellations, including four Grands Crus and 13 Premiers Crus, and five “clos”, two of which form part of the monopole Chanzy vineyard. This collection features top sites in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. But the Chanzy name is particularly strong in the Côte Chalonnaise. Within this village Chanzy is the proud possessor of arguably the finest Aligoté vineyard in Burgundy, their monopole site ‘Clos de la Fortune.’

Over recent years Chanzy have invested in securing a sustainable environment for the future. Today, they are one of the few Burgundy producers to achieve Haute Valeur Environnementale Level 3 – the most highly regarded certification for sustainable agriculture in France.

Chanzy are delighted to have made three times the amount of Volnay for the 2022 release (3 casks), this being the second vintage from this organic site. ‘Les Fremiets’ sits just below Clos des Ducs to the north of the village and borders Pommard, sharing some of the same iron red soils that its neighbour is famous for. Very fragrant, with dried herbs, black fruit, lavender, potpourri and orange peel on the nose. Chalky tannins, with a tight and powerful structure. This was the standout red of the tasting, giving intensity, purity of fruit, perfume, length and freshness. Very impressive at this early stage of its life. *Limited Availability*
