Dominique Laurent, who makes this wine, is a négociant known for his unique use of barrels, leveraging his experience as a pastry chef and cooper, and his philosophy of non-filtration and non-fining. While the yield was significantly reduced in 2016 due to late spring frosts, high-quality grapes with both concentration and elegance were harvested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appearance is a bright, luminous ruby color. The aroma features red berries (red cherry, raspberry) with notes of violet and a hint of spice, giving it the characteristic elegance of Volnay. On the palate, the acidity is fresh, the tannins are fine and silky, and the concentration and elegance of the fruit are pleasantly balanced. The finish is medium to slightly long, with lingering notes of red fruit and spice. While possessing the concentration typical of 2016, it is enjoyable from an early stage, with gentle aging expected until around 2027-2028.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled duck breast with berry sauce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRoasted lamb with herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBrie cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eViticulture and Vinification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDominique Laurent, a former pastry chef, began his high-end Burgundy négociant business in the late 1980s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHe owns his own cooperage (Tonnellerie) and uses custom-made \"magic casks\" tailored to each cuvée.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHe employs a unique method of 200% new oak, transferring the wine to new barrels during maturation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBottled without filtration or fining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLong-term barrel aging on the lees.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMinimal use of sulfur dioxide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUses hand-harvested grapes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eYields were significantly reduced in 2016 due to late spring frosts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrape Variety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir 100%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlcohol Content\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRatings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eType: Red, Medium-bodied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: France \/ Burgundy \/ Côte de Beaune \/ Volnay (Premier Cru Clos des Chênes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Code: C16R20611\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Secret Cellar","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":50128244670741,"sku":"C16R20611","price":38824.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/8895\/1061\/files\/square-image_19.jpg?v=1787882002","url":"https:\/\/cepages-wines.com\/en\/products\/volnay-1er-cru-clos-des-chenes-dom-dominique-laurent","provider":"Cépages Wines | セパージュ ワイン","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
