Tasting Notes

92-94
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 14
The 2011 Volnay Caillerets possesses lovely density allied to the persistent saline-infused minerality that is the signature of this great site. Dark red stone fruits, flowers and spices emerge over time, but ultimately the Caillerets is defined by its pure energy and tension. There is plenty to look forward to here.

Volnay Fine Wine

Volnay

Volnay, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for elegant, refined Pinot Noir wines with silky texture, aromatic complexity, and graceful ageing potential. These wines feature delicate flavours of red berries, like cherry and raspberry, with floral notes and subtle earth and spice. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Crus like Les Caillerets and Clos des Chênes are highly esteemed for their finesse and depth. Top producers include Domaine Michel Lafarge, Domaine Marquis d'Angerville, and Domaine Hubert de Montille, all dedicated to expressing Volnay's unique terroir.
