Description
Clos des Chênes is a Premier Cru vineyard in Volnay, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune. Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils, a Beaune house founded in 1731, makes this 2023 from Pinot Noir. Volnay reds are usually lighter and more perfumed than those of neighboring Pommard.
Roast chicken, duck breast, salmon with lentils or soft cheeses like Époisses suit its lighter frame. Serve at 58 to 62°F after a short decant. A few years in the cellar will let a young Premier Cru settle.
