Bouchard Père et Fils Volnay Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot 2018 is a rich and solar expression of this celebrated Volnay Premier Cru. On the nose it reveals aromas of ripe black cherries, plums, dried roses and warm spices with a hint of toasted oak. The palate is generously proportioned and silky, offering a wealth of dark fruit flavours balanced by refined tannins and a soft acidity. This wine shows the riper side of Volnay while maintaining the floral elegance that defines the vineyard.

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
