Bouchard Volnay 1er cru Caillerets 'Ancienne Cuvee Carnot' 2021
The Wine
92-94 Pts Allan Meadows, Burghound Sweet Spot - Outstanding 'An exuberantly spicy and overtly floral nose is airy, cool and elegant. Unlike some of the other reds in the range with very low yields, the mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors reflects the expected density while remaining sophisticated, refined and classy on the beautifully persistent, mineral-driven and youthfully austere finale. This is terrific and should age effortlessly.'
92 Pts Neal Martin, Vinous 'The 2021 Volnay Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvee Carnot 1er Cru has quite an airy bouquet, harmonious and demonstrating more concentration than the Clos des Chenes. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry, orange zest and marmalade infusing the red fruit, quite linear with a tensile finish that lingers in the mouth. Very fine.'
