Dry and racy, restrained red fruit and a discreet floral note over chalky minerality and grainy tannins, into a long, crisp finish — built to improve with cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDomaine François Buffet is a long-established Volnay family domaine whose history dates to 1692. Marc-Olivier Buffet has managed the estate since taking over after the 2004 vintage. The domaine farms about 8 hectares, uses organic-conversion practices and cover crops, and ferments with indigenous yeast; its premier crus are typically made with an average of one-third whole clusters and restrained new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe domaine's piece of Clos des Chênes is two plots: one parcel of vines more than 80 years old, the other 53-year-old vines. The climat takes its name from an ancient species of oak that disappeared centuries ago, and the word outlived the trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBlend\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePinot Noir 100%\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Francois Buffet","offers":[{"title":"Bottle 750 mL","offer_id":49088236978359,"sku":"WIFRBVCD2023-B750","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/4486\/9815\/files\/front_4998d067-8013-4a10-8bf2-b30dafc727ef.png?v=1788240293","url":"https:\/\/preface.wine\/products\/francois-buffet-volnay-clos-des-chenes-2023","provider":"Preface Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
