Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2019 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru comes from 0.14-hectare of vine. It has a well defined and more mineral driven bouquet compared to the Champans, the 50% new oak lending a little sheen. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannins and a fine bead of acidity. One of the purest Volnays that I have tasted at the domaine in many many years, this is a small production of two barrels, but try and grab a bottle.

Mingling aromas of sweet berry fruit and plums with hints of peony, orange and raw cocoa, the 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets is medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, with a tangier, more mineral profile than the fleshier, richer Champans that preceded it in our tasting. This derives from a parcel planted in 1984.
