Clos de Vougeot, Grand Cru, Domaine Henri Rebourseau, Burgundy 2023 vs Volnay Premier Cru, Domaine Clos de la Chapelle 2022

Volnay Premier Cru, Domaine Clos de la Chapelle 2022

Resurrected by life-long Burgundy lover Mark O’Connell in 2011 and our dear friend Pierre Meurgey, Domaine Clos de la Chapelle is headquartered at the Chateau de Bligny, owned by Pierre and no less than Dominique Lafon. The talent behind the new Domaine is considerable, and the wines are already getting rave reviews from the likes of Allen Meadows (Burghound), Neal Martin & Jasper Morris. We were so impressed by the wines after tasting the 2022s and were surprised to hear that they had little presence in the UK, so it is a real pleasure to offer these wines. "Deep colour, dusty nose of red currant, briar, just ripe hedgerow strawberries, sweet red peppers, red plum skin, paprika and quarried stone. Sappy, crunchy, peppery, herbaceous-edged palate, cranberry and sarsaparilla dominant, with lean, savoury tannins." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
