Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The oak is prominent on the nose of the Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets ’11, although there is sufficient fruit to back it up. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins. It is quite pointed in the mouth with sour cherry, raspberry and spice, leading to a structured and slightly austere finish. I would afford this another 12 to 24 months in bottle.
