"The unassuming but passionate Thierry Glantenay continues to produce delicious, sensual wines in his cellars in Volnay." - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
One of Volnay and Pommard's best kept secrets, Domaine Bernard & Thierry Glantenay somehow still flies under the radar, despite producing some of the most consistently and widely acclaimed wines in these appellations. The only drawback is that they're always tightly allocated and in short supply, which makes our in-stock parcel a truly enticing proposition.
The entire range is well worth seeking out, but the undisputed highlights start with the 94-point, "superb" Clos des Chenes 1er Cru, "perfectly proportioned and built for the long haul" according to John Gilman of View From the Cellar. This site's familiar power and energy are readily on display in grand fashion in 2022. The "equally stunning" Santenots 1er Cru delivers another benchmark terroir expression in its "velvety and harmonious" profile. Finally, don't miss the epic Les Rugiens 1er Cru, "the most complex and complete amongst Glantenay's range ... a Pommard to hunt down" as Vinous' Neal Martin puts it.
Glantenay's approach in the cellar and in the vineyards has resulted in a steady upward trajectory for the domaine over the past several years, and the wines are now flirting with the titans of Volnay and Pommard while still remaining relatively accessible for collectors looking for real long-term propositions at savvy prices. |
