The 2016 Camille Giroud Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru Museum Release is a mature Pinot Noir from a respected Premier Cru vineyard in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The nose shows red cherry and raspberry alongside dried flowers, earthy spice and developing savoury notes.
On the palate, it is refined and structured, with fresh acidity, fine tannins and layers of red fruit, spice and earthy complexity. Bottle age has added depth while maintaining a long, balanced finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this Museum Release is an excellent choice for Burgundy drinkers seeking a developed Premier Cru Volnay with additional bottle age. Enjoy now or cellar through 2032. Pair with roast duck, lamb, beef, game or mushroom dishes.
