The 2023 Domaine Rossignol-Février Volnay 1er Cru “Carelle sous la Chapelle” is a refined and terroir-driven red Burgundy that highlights 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 freshness and balance of the 2023 vintage. The nose is initially subtle and complex, opening with red and dark cherry, raspberry and plum, layered with notes of violet, spice and a light mineral, slightly marine nuance.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine depth and cohesion, showing silky, polished tannins and a seamless integration of whole-bunch character. Bright fruit and fresh acidity are balanced by a mineral backbone, leading to a long, elegant and persistent finish. The style is classic Volnay Premier Cru—graceful and aromatic, yet with added depth and structure in 2023.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the standout wines from the domaine in 2023, offering both finesse and underlying power. Ideal for customers seeking a Premier Cru Volnay with more depth while retaining a silky, perfumed profile. Drink from 2026 or over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with duck, roast poultry, veal or refined mushroom dishes.
