Note di degustazione
The classic – and, in many people’s eyes, ultimate – expression of Volnay, Caillerets is a site with very little topsoil. The 2023 bottling from Boillot is delicate, with sweet red cherry fruit, pink peppercorns and crushed florals. It’s juicy and bright on the palate, with a savoury tea-leaf character and creamy note that comes through on the finish. Raspberry and Earl Grey tea play on the long finish, with fine chalky tannins lending structure.

A darker crimson colour, and the fruit too has added a darker note. Black raspberries, a little fresher red fruit further back on the palate, concentrated, tannins present but ripe, fair length. Perhaps this could have been picked a couple of days earlier.
The 2023 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru is a heady, explosive wine. Ripe dark red fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, kirsch and rose petal make a strong opening impression. This exuberant yet mid-weight Volnay impresses with its exotic beauty. The aromatics alone are beguiling.
