Tasting Notes: A Sophisticated Volnay 1er Cru with Ageing Potential
The Bouchard Père et Fils Volnay Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot 1er Cru 2020 is a benchmark example of Premier Cru Volnay. It opens with aromatic notes of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle spice, followed by floral hints and a touch of earthy minerality. On the palate, the wine offers a silky texture balanced with fine tannins and vibrant acidity, revealing layers of red berry fruit, savoury spice, and forest floor.
This is a rich, complex, and voluptuous red Burgundy that beautifully marries structure with elegance. A refined wine with outstanding depth and precision, it has a long, persistent finish and excellent cellaring potential for 10–15 years.
