From Bouchard`s historic Volnay Les Caillerets parcel, the House`s first-ever vineyard purchase bought from the Carnot family in 1775, this 100% Pinot Noir shows the cooler, more structured character of the excellent 2019 vintage. Expect a bright cherry hue, a spicy, mineral-edged nose of raspberry and clove, and a punchy, sleek palate with real drive and a firm, long finish. Unusually generous for young Volnay, it still has a stern backbone that points to real ageing potential, ideally a decade in bottle before drinking through the mid-2030s. Try with duck breast or veal.

The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with a deep-pitched bouquet of wild berries and plums mingled with raw cocoa, peonies and subtle hints of spice. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, it`s seamless and complete, with a deep core of fruit and velvety structuring tannins. - William Kelley

The 2019 Volnay Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot 1er Cru has a slightly smudged bouquet, with raspberry and strawberry fruit, sous-bois and leather. Could there be just a touch of Brettanomyces here? The palate is medium-bodied, with a slightly saccharine entry, modest depth, and lower acidity than Clerget's Caillerets, leading to a slightly monotone finish. Not bad, but it lacks a soupçon of pedigree. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Neal Martin12th December 2023
