Volnay Caillerets Ancienne 2015 Bouchard Pere & Fils

Avis professionnels

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets "Ancienne Cuvée Carnot" would definitely be one of my picks from Bouchard Père this vintage. It has a lovely, expressive, terroir-driven bouquet with red cherry, crushed strawberry and wet limestone. There is impressive delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied, very well balanced with caressing, supple tannin that belie the structure underneath. I like the energy, the frisson here and the length lingers in the mouth, a tang of orange peel and Moroccan spice on the aftertaste. This comes recommended - chapeau!

Simple fruit on the nose, but the palate offers more floral character and quite substantial concentration. Lovely tannic grain too - soft and approachable, but with enough tension to age well.?
