2022 Volnay, Domaine François Buffet, Burgundy

Description

From two different plots, Les Famines and La Gigotte, the Famines part gives freshness and acidity with the Gigotte giving a more mature, fruit rich character to the wine. There is no shortage of both attributes with this vintage. Luscious red and dark fruit with very delicate, fine tannins ensure that this will give pleasure early.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 89-91/100

A mix of Famines, the ripest plot, and Gigotte, which brings some freshness. Incredibly dark by Buffet standards, with an opaque inky nose. Not quite sure what to make of this but the intensity is impressive and it does come across as fresh enough at the finish, and very persistent.

Drink 2028 - 2033

The 2022 Volnay Village is a blend of two lieux-dits, as usual. It has a feisty and lively bouquet with raspberry, blueberry and sous-bois scents. There is plenty of substance here, lovely red berry fruit laced with graphite and impressive substance and freshness on the finish. Recommended.

Drink 2026 - 2040

About this wine

Volnay

Volnay

The finest and most elegant red wines of the Côte de Beaune are grown in Volnay, a village which might be twinned with Chambolle-Musigny in the Côte de Nuits, for the high active chalk content in the soil and comparatively low clay content. Whereas in earlier times Volnay was made in a particularly light, early drinking style, these days there are many producers making wines which age extremely well.
