A Seriously Charming Volnay
 
The best moments in this business are when you come across a wine that you think so perfectly captures the soul of what a given appellation/region/grape is all about...at least from your PoV.  

It's really great when it does this at a price that isn't a deal-breaker, either.   

The last part about 'non-deal-breaker' pricing, often times makes it harder for Burgundy doesn't fit into that equation, but, today's wine is definitely proof that that's not always the case. 

Frédéric Cossard began handing the reigns of Domaine de Chassorney, his legendary biodynamic Saint Romain-based estate to his protégé, Aurélien Verdet, in 2019, and these 2022 releases bearing the Chassorney name are actually the first wines made entirely under Verdet's control. 

As you'll see when you first taste this Volnay 2022, the Chassorney estate is in great hands going forward. 

Now, as I was saying, when you do come across a wine that kinda captures what you think is the essence of Burgundian Pinot Noir, while it's quite ineffable, you know it when you taste it, and I tasted it here. 

The elegance, the subtly profound complexity, the silky texture and the purity not only grab your attention, but they kinda lift it up into the clouds, too. 

Once there, the impossibly elegant, darkly pitched fruit and underlying savoriness lead to a deeply earthy, stony finish that seems to slowly fade over the course of a minute. 

It's just one of those wines that strikes the perfect balance between casual charm (and price) and serious depth...

...in other words, it's the kinda wine that puts a smile on your face, and makes all the other crap in life just details...

...as long as the bottle lasts, that is...
