The 2022 Domaine Rossignol-Février Volnay 1er Cru “Carelle sous la Chapelle” is a refined and terroir-driven red Burgundy that captures the elegance and precision of this highly regarded Premier Cru site in Volnay. Crafted from Pinot Noir grown on clay-limestone soils and farmed biodynamically, it reflects the generosity and purity of the 2022 vintage. The nose is open and expressive, offering red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with subtle notes of white pepper, clove and floral lift.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky yet structured texture and fine, grainy tannins. Bright red fruit flavours are complemented by lively acidity and a delicate mineral edge, leading to a fresh, elegant and gently tangy finish. The style is classic Volnay Premier Cru—graceful, aromatic and finely balanced, combining finesse with underlying depth.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers seeking a Premier Cru Volnay that balances elegance with subtle structure. The 2022 vintage offers both immediate charm and aging potential. Drink from 2025 or over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with duck, roast poultry, veal or refined mushroom dishes.
