At the end of August, under clear skies and after weeks of careful monitoring, we harvested our plot of Volnay 1er Cru Les Chevrets. As we do every year, we waited for the optimal maturity to harvest these precious grapes, the true jewels of our House.
This small plot – which we own outright – holds a special place in our hearts. It embodies the soul and identity of our wine merchantage, and its wine is its flagship product.
Exceptional quality
The grapes from the 2025 harvest display a remarkable concentration. The berries, small but intense, promise wines of great depth, both elegant and powerful, as Volnay knows so well how to offer.
A limited harvest
While the quality is there, the quantity remains low: only three rooms were able to be harvested. The summer heatwave reduced volumes, making this vintage rare and precious. By way of comparison, we only produced one piece (around 280 bottles) during the difficult 2021 vintage, which was also our first.
A confidential wine
The Volnay Premier Cru Les Chevrets 2025 will therefore be a rare wine, produced in very small quantities, reflecting a demanding but generous year in terms of intensity. We are eager to follow its ageing alongside our partner Henri Boillot and to introduce it to you in a few months' time as the most accomplished expression of our expertise and our attachment to Volnay.
