Tasting note
This premier cru is a quintessential Volnay, with finesse, depth and length on the palate. A wealth of flavors reveal themselves in layer upon layer featuring cherry, spice, violet, liquorice and conspicuous minerality. This wine is a combination of elegance and power concentrated with purity of flavor, sublime texture and a long finish.
Wine-food combination
roasted meats, game birds or slowly braised stews and delicate cheeses such as brie de Meaux, Chaource and Comté.
Vinification
Pinot Noir is usually destemmed, except in warmer years when up to 20% of stems may be included, and native yeasts are used for primary fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. After four to five days of cold maceration, Xavier uses a combination of pump-over and punch-down for extraction. After pressing, the wines are transferred to barrels for malolactic fermentation for 12 to 14 months. Regional-level wines receive 15-20% percent new oak, village-level wines receive 25% new, and premier crus 30-35% percent.
Location Vineyard
Clos des Chênes is the largest premier cru in Volnay and sits between the premier cru of Taille Pieds and the border of Monthelie.
