2021 Volnay, Les Lurets, 1er Cru, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

Description

Lurets is a vineyard with cool, deep soils. Carel's fruit comes from the lower section of the Premier Cru, close to where it becomes a Village site. He was unable to use any whole bunch this year, but there is evident class, with sweet, ripe floral Volnay fruit to the fore and plenty of length.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 87-91/100
Medium crimson. The nose is out of sorts, a bit of oak, the fruit is less present and not quite fresh. Then starts to emerge. Particularly cherry like up front, sweeter raspberry behind, some crispness to the finish. I think at a difficult stage but there is good persistence, so should come through.Jasper Morris, insideburgundy_com (January 2023)

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
