Great care was needed with reds in 2023, as productions were often high, and some grapes were affected bysun-burn, others by mould, or unripeness, within the bunches. Rigorous sorting in vineyard and winery hasenabled beautiful wines to be made. Once again, this First Growth Volnay stands out for its harmony and beauty. It was 100% de-stemmed, then gently punched down at the start of 10 days of maceration. It has beenmaturing in 20% new barrels. Strikingly deep ruby-purple in colour, it shows open, lively ripeness on the nose, recalling red fruits. Palate is medium-bodied and vivacious, with velvety texture and exceptional, creamyaftertaste (for drinking 2027-2033+).
Please note, this In Bond wine is limited to 10 cases online. More may be available: please call 020 7584 7927 or email to enquire further.

Winemaker
Olivier Leflaive Frères
In 2024, Olivier celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the foundation of his business. We have been a client uninterruptedly, ever since he and his brother Patrick began together, in 1984. Many wines come from their own domaine, and an increasing number from vineyards which they manage throughout the year, including the picking. Long-term winemaker Franck Grux has retired. After a two-vintage hand-over, overall responsibility for vineyard-management and wine-making has passed to the highly talented Solène Panigai, aided by long-serving Philippe Grillet. They and the teams are tightly focused on the identities of each village and plot. They are severe in side-lining not only less-than-perfect grapes on the sorting tables, but also any barrels which do not merit inclusion in their finest selections. Thanks to our long-term links with this family business we have privileged, early access to many its rarest, best-value and finest wines - several being exclusively reserved for HH&C.
