The Domaine Yvon Clerget has seen a remarkable rebirth since Thibaud Clerget took the helm in 2015, revitalizing one of Volnay's oldest estates. The Volnay Carelle Sous La Chapelle 1er Cru comes from vines averaging 30-45+ years old, with 'Carelle sous la Chapelle' referring to an old chapel near the village. The 2020 vintage, bottled in December 2020, is a powerful wine with good acidity, crafted from 100% destemmed grapes and aged in French oak, with 20-25% new barrels. 【 Rebirth of a historic Volnay domaine under the talented Thibaud Clerget, producing quintessential Volnay with great elegance and aging potential. 】 **Tasting Notes:** This premier cru offers a delicate nose with profound notes of red fruits, rose petals, and black fruits.
