2020 Volnay 1. Cru Les Caillerets Henri Boillot

Even more intense purple than the Chevrets with a theme of intense brilliance and zest through the middle. The wood shows a bit at the moment though he has used less in his red wines this year. Will settle down. Just a touch soapy at the moment, but all the indications are of a grand vin. Sweet ripe cherries with a good thread of acidity.

(from a .60 ha parcel). This beauty possesses the spiciest nose in the range which is complemented by its notes of dark currant, floral wisps and a discreet touch of wood. The intense and beautifully delineated middle weight flavors possess a positively gorgeous silky texture of lace and grace that is almost delicate, all wrapped in a youthfully austere, complex and strikingly long finale. This is superb and very much worth your interest.
