This bottling comes from Bouchard`s Volnay Les Caillerets, the first vineyard the House ever bought, back in 1775, and is made of course entirely from Pinot Noir. The 2018 is a warm-vintage Volnay. ripe, plush and approachable, with aromas of red cherry, rose petal and light spice. The palate has generous, silky fruit, soft tannins and a rounded, comforting finish typical of the year, though still with the elegance Volnay is known for. Drinking well now, with scope to hold for a further decade. Good with roast chicken or charcuterie.

The 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot is showing beautifully from bottle, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, black plums, sweet soil tones and subtle spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it`s one of the more tightly wound wines in the range, with powdery structuring tannins, lively acids and a long, penetrating finish. - William Kelley

The 2018 Volnay Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot 1er Cru has a tightly-knit, rather monotone bouquet with blackberry, rose petal and incense aromas. It lacks a bit of typicité and terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly lactic entry and decent acidity. It is rather oaky, obscuring the terroir expression on the finish at the moment. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting. Neal Martin22nd November 2022
