2023 Yvon Clerget Volnay 1er Cru 'Carelle Sous La Chapelle'

100% destemmed, 20% new wood, one new barrel in five. More lees were retained for the elevage, to add a reductive character so as to delay the need to add sulphur. A fine mid purple. The nose remains on the reductive side. Good tension and much cleaner fruit on the palate, with fine persistence. Drink from 2030-2035. Tasted Nov 2024. - Jasper Morris
