2022 Château de la Crée Volnay Les Echards

Not Currently Available

The renowned Les Echards is one of the best parcels we own and the favorite vineyard of Pablo Bosch, the winemaker behind Château de la Crée and Domaine Evenstad. Located in historic Volnay, Les Echards has the most unique terroir than anywhere we own in Burgundy. Volnay is comprised of well-drained limestone soils, while the Les Echards parcel is more dominated by clay rather than limestone. It produces more concentration than nearby Premier Cru sites due to the clay that affects the shape, weight, and texture of the wine.

2021 Château de la Crée Volnay Les Echards Pinot Noir

Volnay

Facing southeast due to its unique orientation, these vineyards have been cherished and cultivated for centuries, supplying esteemed entities like the Knights of Malta and the Dukes of Burgundy. Volnay is a village and appellation that stands just south from Pommard and Beaune. It is very distinctive from its neighboring appellations for its rather fruity and gentle body, recognized as one of the most elegant appellations in Burgundy. During the 18th century, Volnay was considered the finest wine of the southern Côte d’Or, and it still enjoys a prestigious reputation among Burgundy aficionados today.
