Clerget, Volnay Premier Cru, Clos du Verseuil 2021 - 150cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eClos du Verseuil is Domaine Yvon Clerget's own walled vineyard, a monopole tucked into the middle of Volnay village that no other grower can bottle. The Clergets have made wine here since the thirteenth century; today it is Thibaud Clerget in charge, back home after time at Domaine de la Romanee-Conti and Meo-Camuzet, and the wines have found a new clarity under him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolnay is the most perfumed red in the Cote de Beaune, and 2021 — a frost-hit, low-yielding year — has given wines of real freshness and lift rather than weight. Expect Pinot Noir in its silkiest register: crushed raspberry and red cherry, a note of violet, a twist of pepper, and the faint savoury edge Volnay develops with a few years in bottle. The tannins are fine and cool, the acidity bright, and in magnum it will hold and improve for a decade or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bottle for the table and for keeping — one that rewards patience and a proper glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 15–16°C in a broad Burgundy bowl. Decant gently just before serving, or pull the cork an hour ahead — young Volnay opens fast with a little air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoble Rot for its Burgundy list. The River Cafe for the cooking that suits it. Scott's in Mayfair for the occasion a magnum deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoast duck or guinea fowl is the classic reach — the perfume lifts the bird, the acidity cuts the fat. Coq au vin works too, and so does a plate of wild mushrooms on toast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55289201819972,"sku":"HO5907C21","price":188.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/122762820220101500_92806aea-0b5f-4edc-9cee-d2d3e643365d.png?v=1773222537","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/domaine-y-clerget-volnay-premier-cru-clos-du-verseuil-2021-150cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
