Domaine de la Pousse d`Or Volnay En Caillerets 2012 is a mature-vintage Premier Cru red Burgundy from the climat of En Caillerets in the Volnay appellation of the Côte de Beaune. The wine comes from a small, east-facing plot of Pinot Noir vines, most of which were planted in 1976. "Dark plums, spices, smoke and menthol are some of the many nuances that emerge from Pousse d`Or`s 2012 Volnay En Caillerets. This is a distinctly dark style of Caillerets that is deeply marked by the signature low yields of the year. There is considerable intensity in the glass, but my fear is that the wine is so concentrated that some of the terroir signatures are masked by the sheer richness of the fruit." Vinous, 2014

Vinous
Bright medium ruby. Liqueur-like black and blue fruit aromas complicated by violet and game. Very ripe and plush, with flavors of blackberry, licorice and bitter chocolate. Finishes thick and long, with serious, slightly edgy tannins, a restrained sweetness and a hint of pastry. Just enough verve here to support the wine's full ripeness.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2014
