The premier cru vineyard of Volnay En Chevret lies mid-slope, in the same band of soil where the acclaimed Clos des Chênes, Caillerets, and Chapansin lie, the Southern end of the Volnay appellation. This area is where the best premier crus of the appellation are located, in rocky soils that are high in iron content, with less limestone and chalk than in other parts of the appellation. The resulting wines are sturdier, with more concentration and structure. | |

Deep dark red in colour this Volnay 1er Cru has a complex bouquet of cassis, spice and vanilla. On tasting, it is fleshy and clean with mellow tannins. Cassis and liquorice come through on the finish.
