Product Description
Domaine Francois Buffet Clos des Chenes 2014 represents exceptional Francois Buffet wine from one of Volnay's most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. This legendary site derives its name from an ancient oak species that disappeared centuries ago, and the Buffet family cultivates 1 hectare across three parcels featuring 45-80 year-old vines positioned throughout the vineyard—north and south, bottom and top. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grown on chalky marl soils, the wine ages 18 months in French oak barrels, developing remarkable complexity and structure
Beguiling Elegance with Structured Depth
Deeper and wider with more obvious fruit than other Buffet cuvées, this wine showcases classic Clos des Chênes character. Fuller-bodied without excess weight, the palate delivers really complex flavors with a gorgeous mid-palate and fine elegant structure rather than overt power. A little tannin provides framework, while oak, tobacco, and vanilla notes add dimension.
