The 2019 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru comes from 90-year-old vines that produced just three barrels this year after millerandage earlier in the season. Entirely de-stemmed with one-third new oak it has a fragrant bouquet with ebullient red berry fruit perhaps less mineral driven compared to say Lafarge or Glantenay’s Caillerets. The palate is succulent and fleshy on the entry with slightly lower acidity than Clerget’s other crus but maybe more sensual with a rounded almost voluptuous finish. This will be irresistible in its youth but it has the substance to age over 15-20 years. (Drink between 2023-2042)
The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets is also very promising delivering aromas of plums raspberries exotic spices and flowers. Medium to full-bodied elegant and precise like the Clos du Verseuil this is one of the more refined wines in the range this year. I'm looking forward to revisiting it in bottle.
