The 2017 Volnay Carelle Sous La Chapelle 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of cranberry and wild strawberry scents, almost pastille-like, and the oak is nicely enmeshed. The medium-bodied palate features sappy red berry fruit laced with black pepper and spicebox and exerts gentle grip. This feels quite persistent in the mouth, with a long, saline finish. ...

89-91 The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Carelle Sous La Chapelle wafts from the glass with notes of red berries, spices, baking chocolate and dried flowers, gently framed by its 20% new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, deep and succulent, with an ample core of fruit and fine-grained, chalky tannins.

Rated 91 by Wine Spectator
Dense, vibrant and juicy, offering cherry, strawberry, floral and spice flavors. Fluid, featuring a backbone of tannins for support. Balanced in a youthful way, with dusty tannins coating the palate. Best from 2022 through 2030. 267 cases made.

A deft application of wood frames a similar array of aromas though there is notably better complexity. The vibrant if slightly less dense medium weight flavors possess a highly sophisticated texture of lace and grace, all wrapped in a softly mineral-inflected finish. Textbook Carelle.
Winery
This Volnay takes us to an unknown terroir: tense, chiseled, it goes straight to the point while remaining on the fruit.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

Region: Burgundy

The wines which come out of the Burgundy region of France are regularly hailed as amongst the finest in the world, with the area now being synonymous with quality red wines of exceptional flavor, character and aroma. However, Burgundy is no newcomer to the world of fine wines, with the earliest recordings of the quality of this region's produce dating back to the 6th century, and archaeological evidence suggesting that vineyards had been cultivated there for over two thousand years. Today, there are dozens of controlled appellations within Burgundy, each producing exceptional wines typical of the region. The whole area benefits greatly from hot summers and mild, long autumnal periods, which, when coupled with the generations of expertise of the wineries in Burgundy, consistently produces superb wines for the world's enjoyment.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.

Appellation: Cote De Beaune

The beautifully and unforgettable French region of Cote De Beaune has been revered throughout the centuries, and recognized as one of the key producer's of the world's finest white wines. The region is highly respected as an excellent producer of Chardonnay wines, and the Chardonnay grapes which grow there, on the southern slopes of the Cote d'Or, are packed full of the unique and powerful characteristics of this very special terroir. Interestingly, Cote De Beaune produces more red wine than white wine, despite its white wines being so famous. The red wines of Cote De Beaune are mainly made from Pinot Noir, but are relatively very light and fruity in their character, perfect for sipping on a warm, sunny day alongside a wide range of foods.
