Tasting notes
Revisited in bottle, the 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet raspberries and cherries mingled with dark chocolate and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and vibrant, with sweet, powdery tannins and lively acids, it concludes with a bright, mineral finish.

The 2020 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru comes from vines planted in 2000 (the older vines purchased several years ago were uprooted in this vintage.) It has a more intense bouquet than the Fremiets with black cherries, raspberry punnet, crushed stone and silex aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black cherry and raspberry fruit, a taut line of acidity, linear and strict with a brisk white pepper tinged, quite Pommard-like, almost clinical finish. Excellent, but unapologetically hardcore.
