2013 was the debut vintage for the Volnay Taillepieds bottling at Domaine Clos de la Chapelle and the wine has become the reference point example of this great premier cru over the course of its first decade in the lineup of the estate. These vines are now fifty to sixty years of age and really starting to show some extra old vine depth. The bouquet is simply brilliant in 2022, soaring from the glass in a complex constellation of cassis, black cherries, a hint of black raspberry, spit-roasted pigeon, coffee bean, woodsmoke, a glorious foundation of dark soil tones and a nice touch of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with a tightly-knit structure, excellent focus and grip, a sappy core of black fruit, fine transparency and a long, seamlessly balanced and complex finish.
