92 / 100
Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Medium red. Sexy, inviting aromas of redcurrant, minerals, smoke and rose petal. Juicy and fine-grained but youthfully imploded, with very good acidity giving this large-scaled wine excellent delineation. Finishes very long and sweet, with a boatload of powerful but ripe tannins. Offers superb potential but will require considerable patience.
Finesse and power combine in the Caillerets to give a very harmonious whole. As the etymology of the name suggests, the stony soil gives this wine a minerality that combines beautifully with the fruit. There is an ever-renewed elegance in this cuvée, very Volnaysian: “who doesn’t have vines in Caillerets doesn’t know what Volnay is worth”. Like Champans, 5 to 10 years of aging are often necessary for it to show its full potential and release its remarkable bouquet.
