Note di degustazione
The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru les Caillerets consists of a single barrel this year, since Boillot's holding includes young vines that will augment the 0.08-hectare from 2016, "doubling" the quantity to two barrels. It has a gorgeous bouquet, bridled with joyful red cherry, cranberry jus and quince aromas that seem to soar from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and was showing a marked oak influence at the moment (I tasted from a 2010 barrel, though it was fermented in new), though that will be sucked up by the copious fruit that provides impressive depth on the sinewy finish. Give this 4-5 years in bottle (if you manage to locate a bottle).

Bright, dark red. Slightly high-toned but reticent aromas of black cherry, licorice mint and bitter chocolate. Dense, sweet and broad but quite backward, offering slightly high-toned flavors of black and purple fruits, minerals and dark chocolate. The wine's calcaire energy contributes to its impression of inner-mouth tension. Finishes very long, with considerable finesse of tannins and a lingering note of licorice. With its distinct small-berry character, this youthfully taut wine should enjoy a long life in bottle.
