Volnay 1er Cru Carelle Sous la Chapelle Domaine Y. Clerget 2023 (750ML)

17 Points, Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com: "Limpid sweetness of fruit, an undertow of coffee, a touch of mallow flower. Brimming with pellucidity. This Clerget Volnay, like the Clos du Verseuil, has particular finesse, without the firmer tannins that seem to structure Thibaud Clerget's other premiers crus. (TC) (Drink between 2026-2035)" 01/25

89-92 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "All but invisible wood sets off ripe and fresh aromas of plum, dark cherry and pretty spice whiffs. The vibrant and delicious flavors aren't as dense but they are notably finer with more evident minerality on the caressing, lacy and refined finale. Lovely and understated in style. (Drink starting 2030)" 04/25

93-95 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2023 Volnay En Carelle Sous La Chapelle 1er Cru was fully destemmed and matured in 25% new oak. Thibaut put a little more lees in the barrel to protect the wine, giving this a slight reduction on the nose, but it does not disguise the intense raspberry and blackcurrant fruit with touches of orange blossom. The palate is medium-bodied, very harmonious and poised with fine and pliant tannins, ebullient red fruit and a touch of white pepper on the finish. Superb. (Drink between 2026-2042)" 01/25
