The Climat
Perched high on the Côte de Beaune, Volnay - a narrow and steep village with ample space for the vines - lies against the mountain, forming a gentle curve in the orientation of the slopes, from east to southeast. Our vines within the "Clos des Angles" are classified as Premier Cru and thrive on soils rich in stones and clay.

The vintage
The winter was mild, but the alternation of warm and cool periods slowed the vines' growth cycle, thus budbreak was expected for late March - early April. As spring frost spared our vines, flowering began toward the end of May. A first heatwave came in early July, followed by a second one between August 10th and 25th, slightly delaying veraison. At the Château de la Crée, harvest started on September 3rd under summer conditions. 2023 marks the second consecutive vintage delivering both above-average yields and quality. The Chardonnay has reached optimal ripeness while preserving a lovely freshness. The Pinot Noir shows great aromatic structure.
Tasting note
The bouquet is floral (subtle notes of rose and hibiscus), mineral and indulgent (cherry, clafoutis). The palate is airy, sapid, with present but well-incorporated tannins, leading to a silky finish.
