Bouchard Père & Fils | Burgundy, France
Volnay Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot 2017
January 2019
90-92 Points
Vinous
The 2017 Volnay Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot 1er Cru (the first parcel purchased by the Bouchard family in 1775) has a well-defined, intense bouquet of black cherries, bilberry and light violet aromas. The medium-bodied palate is finely proportioned, offering crisp tannin, layers of pure blackberry, raspberry and brown spice, and a touch of truffle right on the finish. –NM
