91/94

A little deeper in crimson, approaching ruby. The complex nose offers slightly darker fruit, a briary note, and a little new oak. The most volume of fruit among the Volnays, plus that slightly more regal touch to the fruit, which covers the bone structure completely. Good acidity behind. Promising.

2024 Volnay “Les Caillerets”: (from a .60 ha parcel). An exuberantly spicy nose freely reveals its combination of pure and equally elegant aromas of red and dark pinot fruit together with an array of floral nuances. The refined and lilting flavors are not especially concentrated but they also flash ample minerality on the focused, moderately austere and complex finale. This is lovely and while it’s not going to wow anyone with its size and weight, the finesse and class alone are worth the price of admission
