Note di degustazione
The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets is more taut and reserved than the Frémiets, opening in the glass with notes of wild berries, flowers and a framing of cedary new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and fine-grained, with chalky tannins and a long, sappy and almost saline finish.

Very good medium red. Lovely aromatic lift to the aromas of cherry, pungent minerality, rose petal and musky soil tones. Broad and intense but showing less easygoing early sweetness than the Fremiets. This is more minerally, high-pitched and youthfully tight but still maintains an impression of pliancy. Finishes sappy, gripping and long, with terrific focus and refined tannins.
(fully destemmed; 50% new oak): Moderately saturated medium red. Very ripe aromas of plum, red cherry and redcurrant energized by floral and minty nuances. Conveys a stronger impression of vinosity than the Frémiets owing to its underlying saline minerality but the red fruit and sweet oak flavors still give it attractive sucrosité . This nicely sappy, high-pitched wine finishes with excellent subtle persistence and mineral grip.
