The 2023 is medium-deep ruby with pure red fruit and a serious mineral edge, finishing long and crisp, austere in its youth and built for the cellar. This release is a 1500 ml magnum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDomaine François Buffet is a long-established Volnay family domaine with a history dating to 1692. Marc-Olivier Buffet took over from his father after the 2004 vintage; the family farms about 8 hectares across 16 bottlings, and the vineyards are in organic conversion. Fermentation uses indigenous yeast, with gentle extraction and cask élevage using a maximum of 20–25% new wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClos des Chênes is named for an ancient species of oak that disappeared several centuries ago. The domaine's two parcels here hold vines over 80 years old alongside 53-year-old vines on very white, chalky marl, and the wine ages for 18 months in oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBlend\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"François Buffet","offers":[{"title":"Bottle 1.5 L","offer_id":49368724242615,"sku":"WIFRBVEC2023-B1500","price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/4486\/9815\/files\/francois-buffet-volnay-1er-cru-clos-des-chenes-2023-magnum-front-20261031.png?v=1793714567","url":"https:\/\/preface.wine\/products\/francois-buffet-volnay-1er-cru-clos-des-chenes-2023-magnum","provider":"Preface Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
