Product Overview
The Sarah Marsh Volnay 1er Cru En Chevret 2018 is a sophisticated expression of Pinot Noir from the renowned Volnay appellation in Burgundy, France. With an ABV of 14%, this wine captures the essence of the warm 2018 vintage, delivering a wine of elegance, balance, and depth.
On the nose, the wine opens with delicate aromas of red fruits and floral undertones, showcasing the purity and aromatic richness that Volnay wines are known for. The palate is smooth and inviting, with a plush, perfumed fruit character that is lifted by vibrant acidity, providing a refreshing contrast to the wine's rich structure. The finish is stylish and lingering, offering a memorable end to each sip.
2018 was marked by a hot summer, the hottest since 2003, with drought-like conditions in July and August. A touch of rain in August helped refresh the vines, maintaining balance in the vineyards. The early harvest in September resulted in fruit that was ripe and aromatic, with tannins that were both plentiful and rich. Despite lower acidity levels in the analysis, this wine offers a fresh and well-balanced taste.

| Winery | En Chevret is a Volnay 1er Cru, which lies beneath the slope of Les Cailllerets on a gentle incline at 200 to 250 metres. It sits beside En Caillerets, where the soil is reddish clay over Oxfordian and Argovian limestone bedrock. The upper section has plenty of small stones and thinner topsoil, reflected in the floral notes and refinement. The lower, flatter part has a deeper topsoil, red clay over a mother rock band, imparting sweetness and roundness. The grapes are from a massive selection of 30 40- to 40-year-old vines in the lower part of En Chevret from Nicolas Rossignol vineyard. His vineyard stands out for the high and healthy canopies. Nicolas has a pragmatic approach to viticulture and takes elements from biodynamic viticulture that work for him; the lunar calendar is followed for pruning. The vineyard management is a labour of love: his focus is firmly on the life and energy of the soils. The fruit is hand-harvested. |
