Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux Les Brouillards 1er cru, Volnay

Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux has deep roots in Burgundy, with Jean-Michel continuing the family tradition of winemaking in Meursault and Volnay, a legacy that spans generations. Les Brouillards is a respected Premier Cru in Volnay, known for producing wines with fine structure and balance. The domaine farms sustainably, with careful attention to the health of the vines and the character of the site. In the cellar, Jean-Michel uses traditional methods: fermentation in stainless steel before maturation in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, to bring depth and complexity without overpowering the fruit.

Each vintage of Les Brouillards offers aromas of red and black fruits, subtle spice, and earthy notes. The palate is supple yet precise, showing lifted fruit and savoury elements, framed by fine tannins. This is a wine that embodies the elegance of Volnay, rewarding both early drinking and careful cellaring.
