THE STORY

About this wine

Elegant, light-footed Volnay Premier Cru Pinot Noir from a family estate in the village — blueberry and white flowers on the nose, fine tannins, a long soft finish.

Domaine François Buffet is a long-established family estate in Volnay, with family roots in the village dating to 1692. Marc-Olivier Buffet took over after the 2004 vintage; the domaine farms about 8 hectares and its vineyards are in organic conversion, with cover crops used to enrich the soil. Fermentation uses indigenous yeast, and the wines are aged in cask with a maximum of 20–25% new wood.

Worth knowing

Carelle sous la Chapelle is exactly what the name says — the parcel sits beside Notre Dame Chapel in Volnay. This cuvée keeps for six to eight years.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE François Buffet Volnay 1er Cru Carelle sous la Chapelle 2024

Tasting

Color: Red in the glass.
Nose: Blueberry up front, white flowers right behind — a delicate, floral-fruited perfume.
Palate: Light-footed from the first sip, delicately rounded in the middle. Fine tannins and a subtle softness carry it — finely textured, elegant, long and graceful at the finish.
