2023 Francois Buffet Volnay Premier Cru “Clos des Chenes”

The most structured and age-worthy wine in the range. Named after an ancient species of oak that disappeared centuries ago, Clos des Chênes showcases the magnificence of Pinot Noir on its chalky marl terroir — full-bodied and racy, with aromas of red berries and a tannic backbone that retains seductive finesse. Vines ranging from 45 to 80 years old spread across three parcels add extraordinary depth and complexity. Built to age.
