The 2023 Volnay 1er Cru Clos du Château des Ducs delivers aromas of cherries, dark berries and orange rind, mingled with suggestions of old oak barrels and grilled meats. Medium-bodied, primary and compact, it was late completing its malolactic fermentation and remained rather inscrutable on my visit.

The 2023 Volnay Clos du Château des Ducs 1er Cru underwent a later malo and so had been racked just a fortnight before my visit. Despite that, it has an outstanding bouquet of beautifully defined blackcurrant and raspberry fruit laced with iris flowers. The palate was still a bit gassy, yet the fruit is very pure with a hint of licorice toward the finish. Great potential but I suspect it will require longer in bottle than Lafarge's other Premier Crus.
