Note di degustazione
The 2017 Volnay Caillerets "Ancienne Cuvée Carnot" 1er Cru has a more fruit-driven, ample bouquet compared to Benjamin Leroux's Les Caillerets, featuring splendid red cherry and wild strawberry scents, though maybe it does not quite deliver the same delineation. The palate is well balanced and fleshy, with supple red berry fruit, quite candied in style. Blood orange notes surface toward the vibrant finish. Very fine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot is already extremely charming, bursting from the glass with a lavish bouquet of cassis, dried rose petals, coniferous forest floor and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and satiny, with an elegantly textural attack, a nicely concentrated core of fruit and lively acids, concluding with a precise, vibrant finish.
The 2017 Volnay Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot 1er Cru (the first parcel purchased by the Bouchard family in 1775) has a well-defined, intense bouquet of black cherries, bilberry and light violet aromas. The medium-bodied palate is finely proportioned, offering crisp tannin, layers of pure blackberry, raspberry and brown spice, and a touch of truffle right on the finish. Excellent.
