Bouchard`s Ancienne Cuvee Carnot (the original owners) comes from Volnay Les Caillerets, the House`s very first vineyard purchase in 1775. 100% Pinot Noir with 12 months in oak (30% new), the 2020 shows bright cherry-red colour and a lifted, spicy nose of red berries, cloves and stony minerality. The palate is generous and open-knit for young Volnay, with ripe red fruit, gentle spice and the appellation`s characteristic silky, feminine texture beneath a firm backbone. Best from 2027, with potential to develop for 15 years or more. Serve with duck or mushroom dishes.

Cropped at a derisory 15 hectoliters per hectare, the quality of Bouchard`s 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot is some compensation for the lack of quantity. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, rose petals, plums, raw cocoa and orange rind, it`s medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, fragrant finish. - William Kelley

The 2020 Volnay Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot 1er Cru has a perfumed, more floral bouquet with more fruit intensity than Boillot's Chevret. Sous-bois touches percolate through the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Again, what feels like quite a lot of whole bunches, but the stems slightly occlude the terroir expression on the finish. Maybe just a little cork taint? Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin30th October 2024
