Description
Although situated beside Champans, the 2021 Volnay, Carelles Sous la Chapelle, 1er Cru, by Domaine François Buffet is very different in style. It is more accented towards a higher-toned, herbal bouquet with a discrete cinnamon spice. In 2021, those notes are a little more discrete, and the palate has a softer, more mellifluous feel.

Critics reviews
The 2021 Volnay Carelle 1er Cru has a touch more fruit intensity on the nose than the Clos de la Rougeotte. It is well-defined and "transparent." The palate is very classic in style, with a little dryness, nicely balanced with a touch of black pepper and lots of undergrowth on the finish.
Drink 2024 - 2032
Six barrels, which is respectable in 2021. A fresh lighter purple with quite a floral nose, plus raspberries. More precision. Delicious in fact, a mix of juicy raspberry and cherry fruit, without the peppery finish, picked ripe enough and healthy enough. Medium plus persistence.
Drink 2026 - 2032
A strikingly perfumed, cool, and layered nose is comprised of notes of the essence of red currant, sandalwood, and an interesting hint of orange pekoe tea. The super-sleek and silky middleweight flavours, though still quite punchy, possess even better refinement and evident minerality that adds a sense of lift to the focused, detailed, and sneaky long finale. This is pretty much textbook Carelle.
