Volnay Premier Cru 'Clos de la Chapelle' Monopole, Domaine Clos de la Chapelle, 2024

Est. delivery in 2027.

"From 0.4 ha of 70+ year-old vines. 4 barrels made. The domaine’s signature red. Beautiful floral aromatics, layered fruit, and effortlessly silky tannins. One of the standouts of the vintage, and not just at this address."
Stewart Pryce, Honest Grapes Wine Club Manager

The 2024 vintage was not straightforward at Clos de la Chapelle. Mildew pressure was significant, particularly in sensitive sites, and overall yields were low, averaging around 20 hl/ha. Champs Pimonts, with its comparatively healthy crop, played an outsized role in stabilising volumes. As with previous challenging years like 2021, the season demanded patience. A dry, sunny end to the cycle allowed the team to wait for full phenolic ripeness, stretching the growing season to close to 100 days – always the benchmark – with very little botrytis to contend with.

"The marketplace has not yet quite fully woken up to Domaine Clos de la Chapelle, but judging by some of their 2017s (and since) it really should."
Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

The results are convincing across both colours. These are wines built on freshness and site expression rather than sheer weight, and 2024 stands out as a genuine success for the domaine. We are particularly pleased to be working exclusively with Clos de la Chapelle again this year, and firmly believe this is one of Volnay’s most exciting addresses.
