2021 Château de la Crée Volnay Les Echards

From one of our finest parcels in Burgundy comes the 2021 Volnay Les Echards Pinot Noir, a wine that is a testament to its prized terroir and soil. Aromas of concentrated cherry, luscious berries, and delicate floral notes awaken your senses. On the palate, taste an opulent roundness, culminating in a graceful finish tinged with hints of anise.

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.
