Volnay 1er Cru En Carelle

Description :

The Volnay appellation is found mid-slope in the Côte de Beaune, with Pommard to the north and Meursault to the south. Dr. Lavalle listed this vineyard in his 1855 classifications as a "Tête de Cuvée", meaning one of the best of the commune. Following harvest, the wine sees a five-day cold soak at 30 degrees Celsius in temperature controlled vats. The wine ferments for five to seven days with one punch down and one pump over per day. The wines are then aged between 12 to 18 months and bottled without fining of filtration.
