Domaine Chavy-Chouet
Sous la Chapelle Volnay Pinot Noir
Solid. Like almost every ‘14 red burg I’ve opened lately this had a layer of VA that was really hard to get past, especially with air. Shame. Loved this vintage in it’s youth.

Oct 13th, 2022I found this rather simple and refreshing, which was in no way a bad thing. Exactly what we wanted for dinner. Lovely juicy just ripe cherry fruit, some lovely earthy notes and charming perfume. Its lightness and tangy acidity paired with finely knit yet caressing tannin made for easy and thoroughly thirst quenching bottle. Pour la table!

Sep 17th, 2020This is in a great place now. Gorgeous nose. Beautiful earthiness on a bed of mid season cherries. Stunning and vivid wet earth. Haunting and spellbinding aromas like great Volnay can get. Very red fruited. Palate is elegant, fresh and super juicy. So clean and vivid with lovely mid season and sour cherry fruit. Lots of it and very succulent. Love 14. Love the transparency. So long. Great showing.

1 person found it helpfulFeb 27th, 2019Romaric may be famous for his whites but man his reds are smoking. This is beautiful. Gorgeous and classic 2014 nose that has lovely fruit but also a classical earthy grit. But super perfume of cherries, lavender fields, flowers and spicey earth notes. Really aromatic. Palate is gorgeous with sweet sappy fruit and a firm structure that will loosen up and this wine aerates. Super sweet, silky and seductive after 15 minutes open.
