The 2015 Brouillards from Glantenay is exceptional, and we currently have a limited amount in stock. This is one of our favorite examples of the Volnay Cru we have ever tasted, and these are the only bottles available in the USA. This is not one to miss for Burgundy fans looking for serious value, and this is an incredible buy for the vintage and appellation.
This Domaine is a hidden gem just beginning to be discovered, although it was founded in 1893 by Pierre Glantenay. The Domaine is now in its 4th generation, run by Guillaume and Sarah Glantenay farming, 8 hectares via sustainable agriculture with the utmost respect for the terror. They take meticulous care of their vineyards via pruning, de-budding, green harvesting, and letting grasses, herbs, and flowers grow between the rows before plowing them over to create natural humus. When the harvest comes, they make a strict selection in the vineyard and again at the winery. They ferment in stainless steel vats with about 30% whole cluster fruit; after primary fermentation, they move the wines into French oak barrels, with a small percentage being new, aging for 10 to 18 months, depending on the appellation.
We have quite a few vintages of the Brouillards from Glantenay, but for us, the 2015 Volnay 1er Les Brouillards is the king. This is one of the most outstanding examples I have ever tasted from this vineyard. The Glantenay's Volnay 1er Brouillards is only a one-hectare plot with 55 to 80-year-old vines. It's an outstanding 2015 with incredible depth, power, and elegance, like the most exceptional red Burgundies can possess. Aromas of ripe red and black fruits, tree bark, and earth are the focus on the nose. On the palate, there is excellent depth, with blue and red fruits, grilled meats, savory herbs, and forest floor. The finish is long and leaves lots of dry extract in the mouth with lingering fruit and mineral nuances. This is incredible juice that is approachable now and will continue to age for another decade. This is an excellent red Burgundy, not to miss, rivaling the best addresses of the village at less than ½ their prices!
Decanter (Willam Kelley) 93 pts! "From 55 year old vines, this Brouillards is another ringing success. Red and black cherries, bitter chocolate, woodsmoke and dark soil introduce a concentrated palate with lovely intensity to its juicy fruit, and beautifully refined tannins. (Drink between 2022-2042)"
