Robert Parker
"Aromas of dark berries, cherries, hints of sweet earth and spice foreshadow the 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Chanlin, a medium to full-bodied, lively and fine wine with powdery tannins, lively acids and a long mineral finish. This is an attractive opus that will offer a wide drinking window." (Wine Advocate 2022)

Sols de Marne de Volnay, a parcel located 300 meters within the Premiers Crus, draws its essence from the most "virile" part of the appellation. Its proximity to Pommard, its neighboring appellation, means it benefits from a similar soil, highly concentrated in iron oxide, in addition to a parent rock specific to Volnay.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Frédérick and Franck Buisson, whose family presence in the village dates back to the 12th century, represent the eighth generation of winemakers at this historic Saint-Romain estate. Ecocert-certified since 2012, they develop the most natural viticulture and oenology. The red wines, which still contain some whole bunches, offer a precise vision of their terroir that argues for the rediscovery of a Saint-Romain we haven't often seen at this level. The precise whites are not to be outdone.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Frédéric, winemaker, and Franck, salesman, manage one of the largest estates in the southern Côte de Beaune. Certified organic since 2009, they will be switching to biodynamic viticulture in 2018. For ten years, they had already been following the lunar calendar for their bottling. Serious work in the vineyard and cellar enables them to produce deep, racy wines that age well. This is an estate that perfectly showcases the Saint-Romain appellation in both red and white wines, which are fine, precise and elegant. A range of wines that richly deserve their first star.
