2023 Volnay 1er Cru Gigotte, Domaine Darviot-Perrin

It wasn’t a given that Pierre-Antonin, son of Didier Darviot and Geneviève Perrin who had created the domaine together back in 1989 would become a winemaker. He had initially forged a promising career in the foreign office, but, thankfully, he finally returned home to take over the family domaine in 2019. He immediately introduced biodynamic practices, although, for the moment, the domaine remains only organically certified. This little-known vineyard lies opposite the rather better known 1er Cru of Carelle Sous La Chapelle. It has a lovely mid palate sweetness of fruit. As per all the wines of the domain, it is very much about balance, finesse and refinement.
