Volnay Premier Cru 'Clos de la Chapelle' Monopole, 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. "A narrow strip of vines on the northern border of Clos de la Bousse d’Or, which it is presumed to have originally been part of. Raspberry, red plum, rose petal, grilled herbs, and a sweet, medicinal note on the nose. Perfumed, supple palate, sits high in the cheekbones after initial red fruit sorbet attack, with elegant, fine-boned tannins and liquoricey, hoisin finish." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
