[SOLD-OUT] Yvon Clerget Volnay 2019

VIBRANT AND PRECISE VOLNAY PINOT NOIR FROM A BOUTIQUE PRODUCER ON THE RISE

 

"From just 1 hectare of 40 year old vines planted on silty soil. Fruity, seductive and elegant, this Volnay echoes the appellation's reputation: elegance and femininity." - Yvon Clerget

 

"With roots in the village of Volnay dating back to the XIII century, the Clerget family has had the luxury of time to help select their vineyard plots from generation to generation. Over the last five years, the Domaine was somewhat dormant as the vineyards were managed by Henri Boillot and bottled under his label. Today, it comprises six hectares of the finest Volnay land as well as that of Meursault, Pommard and Clos Vougeot. Thibaud Clerget has taken over the Domaine and, at the age of 24, has begun the rejuvenation of one of the great Burgundian estates. His wines are delicate, vibrant and show their tremendous pedigree." - Clos Cachet

 

“I absolutely adored Clerget’s 2018s. I would go as far to say that here I found some of the finest expressions of Volnay, wines surfeit with purity, terroir expression, vibrant fruit and at times, quite ethereal levels of precision – remarkable given the type of growing season. Some of the cuvées are very limited in production, down to a barrel in a couple of cases, but do whatever you can to get hold of one. Who’s to bet against Yves Clerget’s name ranking alongside the likes of Lafarge in the future? Maybe it already does.” - Neil Martin, Vinous
