The nose was awesome. Beautiful youthful Pinot. The first taste was incredible, after nearly an hour of decanting. But I do have to say the mid-palate seemed to fade away a bit disappointingly, over the following hour it seemed to relax a bit too much. Overall a very nice wine, but the white was more exciting. — 10 years ago

Gorgeous dusty nose, cherry, and a hint of elegant coffee grounds, but not oak-driven. Gorgeous texture and freshness. So pure, textured and beautiful. — 3 months ago
The 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Carelle sous la Chapelle is fairly muted. Two hours in the decanter help unwind a restrained bouquet of rose pedals, violets, red and black cherry, cranberry, wood smoke and hints of iodine. Just a notch below full-bodied, the wine is tightly structured and embodies an underlying strength, which undoubtedly will be unleashed after a few years of bottle aging. I wouldn't dare touching this for at least 10 more years. Drink from 2030 until 2050. — 4 years ago

2018. Drinking beautifully. Not sure I’d keep it longer but it’s great right now. Lovely balance of red fruits with solid acidity. Bit of black pepper spice on back end and a long finish. This is wonderful. — 11 hours ago
