Dark-ish crimson. Light, rather smudgy nose. Very fine tannins and very Volnay with refined, if pretty muted, fruit. (JR)

The 2013 Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets comes from young 10-year-old vines in what Thomas Bouley opined is the best terroir in the appellation. This vintage is 100% destemmed because of the age of the vines. Matured in one-third new oak (one new out of the three!) it has a refined bouquet with wilted rose petal scents infusing the bright, vivacious red cherry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, fleshy tannins that again, disguise the backbone of this Volnay. There is good depth here and a little salinity on the linear finish that begs another sip. This is very fine.
