Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Nov 18
The 2015 Volnay Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot 1er Cru has a beautiful, enticing, engaging bouquet, featuring marvelously detailed red berry fruit laced with crushed stone and black truffle. The palate is very detailed and precise, with crisp acidity, an insistent grip, and blacker and sappier fruit emerging toward a finish that lingers in the mouth. This is more backward on the palate than the nose, so I would afford it three or four years in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 27 Apr 18
The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets "Ancienne Cuvée Carnot" offers up a reserved bouquet of cherry, currant leaf, grilled squab and cedary new oak. On the palate, the wine is fine-grained, medium-bodied and tight at the core, with a greater sense of completeness, cohesion and depth than Bouchard's other domaine reds in the 2015 vintage. It's still lacking the concentration and depth to score higher, but the raw materials here were clearly promising. If it's merely closed, then my score will seem conservative.

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.
