Introducing the exquisite 2020 Jean-Marc Boillot Volnay Carelle Sous Chapelle 1er Cru, a red wine that exudes elegance and finesse. Crafted from the renowned Pinot Noir varietal, this wine hails from the esteemed Burgundy region in France, specifically the sub-region of Cote de Beaune and the appellation of Volnay. Within Volnay, the Carelle sous la Chapelle sub-appellation grants this wine a distinct character and terroir.

With a deep, vibrant red color that shimmers in the glass, this wine immediately captivates the eye. The aromas that waft from the glass are nothing short of enchanting. Dark raspberries take center stage, their freshness and purity evident from the very first inhalation. The nose is further complemented by delicate floral undertones, adding an alluring touch to the aromatic profile.

The fruit is impeccably balanced with the tannins, which seamlessly integrate into the wine, providing structure and depth. These tannins, along with a fine point of fresh acidity, contribute to a remarkable harmony and a long, satisfying finish.

Renowned wine expert Jasper Morris awarded this wine an impressive score of 94 points, a testament to its exceptional quality.
