Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets "Ancienne Cuvée Carnot" has a rather conservative bouquet, earthy and missing some fruit intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and attractive red cherry, cranberry and blueberry fruit. This Volnay actually improves as it goes along, and the finish conveys satisfying depth and a gentle grip, the aftertaste long and persistent. This is a strong Volnay from Bouchard Père, and it comes recommended. Tasted September 2017.
